The Client Manager Configuration | Quick | Private Interface
| DHCP Server screen is used to enable and configure the VPN 3002 private
interface to serve as a DHCP server for the private network hosts. This allows
IP hosts on the LAN to obtain IP addresses automatically from a limited pool of
addresses for a fixed length of time or for a lease period. DHCP simplifies host
configuration by allowing the network settings to be learned from the DHCP
server rather than statically configured.
Check the Enabled box to enable DHCP services for the private
interface.
The DHCP Lease Timeout field can be set between 5 and 500,000
minutes. The default is 120 minutes. After the lease time expires, the lease can
be renewed or returned to the address pool. This Lease Timeout period applies
only when the tunnel to the VPN Concentrator is established. When the tunnel
isn’t established, the Lease Timeout period is five minutes.
The next two fields are used to define the starting and ending
address of the DHCP. The example reflects the first 20 addresses were excluded
from the pool, so they might be permanently assigned to shared resources, such
as printers and servers. The default pool is 127 IP addresses and the start of
the range is the next IP address after that of the current private
interface.
If changes were made, the Manager displays the Configuration |

confirms that the DHCP server address pool range was entered.
