Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP Server
The DHCP Server offers centralized management of TCP/IP client configurations, including IP
addresses, gateway addresses, and DNS addresses. Upon startup, each network client receives
its TCP/IP settings automatically from the SonicWALL DHCP Server.
DHCP Client
The DHCP Client allows the SonicWALL to acquire TCP/IP settings (such as IP address, gateway
address, DNS address) from your I SP. This i s necessar y if you r ISP a ssigns you a dynam ic IP
address.
DHCP over VPN
DHCP over VPN allows a Host (DHCP Client) behind a SonicWALL obtain an IP address lease
from a DHCP ser ver at the end of a VP N tunnel. In some netwo rk deployments, it is de sirable to
have all VPN networks residin g in one IP subnet address space. This fac ilitates address
administration for the networks using VPN tunnels.
