could you please share more details, sound like you having multiple subnet LAN, the sk you share to config the eth0 in FW to obtain IP add from DHCP server (not for users).

look at the connection table & log to see why DHCP fails, is it Police Role blocking the DHCP messages . or there no DHCP rely configured.

Please have a look at sk104114 it will help you a lot!.

That SK talks about how to set up Gaia OS to retrieve a DHCP address from a DHCP server.
What you want is your appliance to be a DHCP Server, which requires a different configuration.
Refer to the product documentation: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.10_Gaia_AdminGuide/html_frameset.htm

That's right PhoneBoy, but the question is why use FW as DHCP server, that's takes some of the resource & 3200 has limitation of RAM, max 16G & only one slot, instead Henry can install local DHCP server for end users.

@Murad_Elmgbar look into p.4 of the post. That answers your question.

@HEnRY post screenshots so we could see what was actually done
