DHCP Server Auto Configuration
The Security Appliance can serve as a DHCP server, DHCP client, or a DHCP server and
DHCP client simultaneously. When the Security Appliance is operating as a DHCP client, it
can pass the configuration parameters learned (such as DNS, WINS, and the domain name)
automatically to the clients that its DHCP server services. To enable the Security Appliance
to pass the learned DHCP configuration parameters to its DHCP clients automatically, you
use the dhcpd auto-config command. The syntax for this command is as follows:
dhcpd auto-config [client_interface_name]
The client_interface_name represents the interface on which you have enabled the Security
Appliance to operate as a DHCP client using the ip address interface dhcp command.
NOTE The dhcpd auto-config command also enables the Security Appliance to pass
information learned from its PPPoE interface to its DHCP clients.
