J-series™ Services Router Administration Guide

DHCP is not supported on interfaces that are part of a virtual private network (VPN).

Before You Begin

Before you begin configuring the Services Router as a DHCP server, complete the following tasks:

Determine the IP address pools and the lease durations to use for each subnet.

Obtain the MAC addresses of the clients that require permanent IP addresses. Determine the IP addresses to use for these clients.

List the IP addresses that are available for the servers and routers on your network—DNS, NetBIOS servers, boot servers, and gateway routers, for example.

Determine the DHCP options required by the subnets and clients in your network.

Configuring the DHCP Server with Quick Configuration

The DHCP Quick Configuration pages allow you to configure DHCP pools for subnets and static bindings for DHCP clients. If DHCP pools or static bindings are already configured, you can use the Configure Global DHCP Parameters Quick Configuration page to add settings for these pools and static bindings. Settings that have been previously configured for DHCP pools or static bindings are not overridden when you use the Configure Global DHCP Parameters Quick Configuration page.

Figure 8 on page 67 through Figure 10 on page 69 show the DHCP Quick

Configuration pages.
