DHCP or PPPoE configuration

You can configure any FortiGate interface to acquire its IP address from a DHCP or PPPoE server. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may provide IP addresses using one of these protocols.

To use the FortiGate DHCP server, you need to configure an IP address range and default route for the server. No configuration information is required for interfaces that are configured to use DHCP.

PPPoE requires you to supply a user name and password. In addition, PPPoE unnumbered configurations require you to supply an IP address. Use Table 13 to record the information you require for your PPPoE configuration.
