EdgeRouter - Creating A DHCP Server

Steps

1. Navigate to the Services
2. Click on the + Add DHCP Server
3. Configure it as per this
4. Set the first IP in the DHCP server to the NIC

Initial Configuration

• Name - Doesn’t matter, just an identifier
• Subnet - This part is important. It will define the size of the subnet.
  • Follow Subnet Notation
  • After defining the size of the subnet, this cannot be changed.
• Range Start/Stop - Defines which IPs will be given out by the server
• Router - This should be set usually to the first available IP in the DHCP server.
  • This should also be set in the nic where you want the DHCP server to operate
• DNS 1/2 - This should usually be the same as the Router, otherwise it should be set to wherever your DNS server is
