You can also change the network range of a WatchGuard client. However, when you
save the configuration to the server, it automatically triggers the client to reboot and
load the new policy.

From Policy Manager:

1

Select Network => Branch Office VPN => Basic DVCP.

2

Select the tunnel policy. Click Edit.

The DVCP Client Wizard opens and displays the tunnel properties.

3

Use the Next and Back buttons to move through the DVCP Client Wizard and
reconfigure tunnel properties. When complete, click Finish.

4

Save the configuration file to the Firebox.

The next time the client contacts the server, it will automatically note the tunnel policy change

and download the modifications. If the network address range on a client has changed, the client

automatically restarts.

Removing a tunnel to a device

When a tunnel is removed, the DVCP client can no longer communicate with the
server. The next time the DVCP client tries to contact the server, contact will be
denied. If these settings were never manually configured, the client will use
192.168.111.0/24 as the DHCP network range.

From Policy Manager:

1

Select Network => Branch Office VPN => Basic DVCP.

2

Select the tunnel policy. Click Remove.

The policy is removed from the DVCP Configuration dialog box.

the DVCP Client
checkbox.
