Overview

Kerio Control allows automatic configuration of the DHCP server. This option involves automatic creation and update of IP address ranges and parameters by network interfaces included in Trusted/Local Interfaces, Guest Interfaces and Other Interfaces groups, which implies that the only action required to be performed is to run the DHCP server itself. This article provides the steps necessary to run the DHCP server.

Confirmation

For each interface's subnet, the scope of the following parameters will be created:

Parameters	Description
Range	By IP address of the interface and the corresponding subnet mask. The range should cover the particular subnet with free resources for assigned static addresses, e.g., for mask 255.255.255.0, the range from x.x.x.11 to x.x.x.254 will be created. If a range covers an interface's address, then an exception is automatically defined for it.
Subnet Mask	According to the particular interface.
Default Gateway	The IP address of the particular interface.
DNS Server	The IP address of the particular interface.
