Choosing the VPN Firewall DHCP Options
By default, the network storage will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, WINS Server, and default gateway
addresses to all computers connected to the network storage’s LAN. The assigned default
gateway address is the LAN address of the network storage. IP addresses will be assigned to
the attached PCs from a pool of addresses that you must specify. Each pool address is
tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the VPN firewall are
satisfactory. See the link to the online document TCP/IP Networking Basics in Appendix D for
information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Enable DHCP server radio box by
selecting the Disable DHCP Server radio box. Otherwise, leave it checked.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending
IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the network
storage’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range
