Chapter 7: Services Tab
The
Services
tab displays status information about DHCP
servers, DNS forwarding, and the PPPoE server. Any setting
marked with a blue asterisk
*
is required.
You have three sub-tabs:
DHCP Server
Configure DHCP servers to implement
different subnets on the independent interfaces.
DNS
Configure DNS forwarding so the EdgeRouter
receives all LAN DNS requests and forwards them to the
service provider’s DNS server.
PPPoE Server
Configure the PPPoE server so a remote
PPPoE client can establish a tunnel to the EdgeRouter for
network access.
DHCP Server
A DHCP server assigns IP addresses to DHCP clients. You
can configure multiple DHCP servers to assign IP ranges in
different subnets on the different interfaces.
