5. DHCP Server

Your CyberGuard SG appliance can act as a DHCP server for machines on your local
network. To configure your CyberGuard SG appliance as a DHCP server, you must set a
static IP address and netmask on the LAN or DMZ port (see the chapter entitled Network
Connections
).

DHCP Server Configuration

The DHCP server allows the automatic distribution of IP, gateway, DNS and WINS
addresses to hosts running DHCP clients on the LAN and/or DMZ ports. To configure the
DHCP server click the DHCP Server link in the Networking section of the left menu bar.
