<title>If you want to Run a DHCP Server on your firewall</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Specify the &#34;dhcp&#34; option on each interface to be served
by your server in the /etc/shorewall/interfaces file. This will
generate rules that will allow DHCP to and from your firewall system.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>When starting &#34;dhcpd&#34;, you need to list those interfaces
on the run line. On a RedHat system, this is done by modifying
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. </para>

<title>If a Firewall Interface gets its IP Address via DHCP</title>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Specify the &#34;dhcp&#34; option for this interface in the
<ulink url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</ulink>
file.&#x00A0;This will generate rules that will allow DHCP to and from
your firewall system.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you know that the dynamic address is always going to be in
the same subnet, you can specify the subnet address in the
interface&#39;s entry in the <ulink url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</ulink>
file.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>If you don&#39;t know the subnet address in advance, you should
specify &#34;detect&#34; for the interface&#39;s subnet address in the
<ulink url="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</ulink>
file and start Shorewall after the interface has started.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>In the event that the subnet address might change while
Shorewall is started, you need to arrange for a &#34;shorewall
refresh&#34; command to be executed when a new dynamic IP address gets
assigned to the interface. Check your DHCP client&#39;s documentation.</para>
