Quantum 1430 and 1600 as a DHCP server

lucasregebarros — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 12:45:09 GMT

Hello!

I want to use the quantum appliance as a DHCP server, but in some cases the firewall isn't the network gateway, so there is a Traffic Vlan btween the firewall and the switch which is the network gateway.

What I'd like to do is to configure in the switch(which is the network gateway) a DHCP relay sending the DHCP requests to the firewall. But the firewall DHCP configuration is only over the interface.

There is a way to do this?

Fallow a example:

Are you just looking in the WebUI?
You might be able to configure a different IP Pool on the CLI: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/SMB_R81.10.X/CLI/EN/Content/Topics/170119.htm?tocpath=Configuring%20DHCP%20Settings%7Cdhcp%20server%20interface%7C_____10

Thanks for you answer!

I tried your suggestion, but when I tried enabling the DHCP server I got the message:

"Could not set interface dhcp-range-end: The IP address is outside the network's address range
Could not set interface dhcp-range-start: The IP address is outside the network's address range"

Guess the CLI also contains the same validation.
Maybe check with TAC, but I suspect this will require an RFE: https://help.checkpoint.com
