A DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses to hosts on the network connected to the interface. The host computers must be configured to obtain their IP addresses using DHCP. You can configure one or more DHCP servers on any FortiGate interface.
A DHCP server can be in server or relay mode. In server mode, you can define up to ten address ranges to assign addresses from, and options such as the default gateway, DNS server, lease time, and other advanced settings. In relay mode, the interface forwards DHCP requests from DHCP clients to an external DHCP server and returns the responses to the DHCP clients. The DHCP server must have appropriate routing so that its response packets to the DHCP clients arrive at the unit.
If an interface is connected to multiple networks through routers, you can add a DHCP server for each network. The IP range of each DHCP server must match the network address range. The routers must be configured for DHCP relay.
