<h2 align="left">If you want to Run a DHCP Server on your firewall</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">Specify the "dhcp" option on each interface to be
served
by your server in the <a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>
file. This will generate rules that will allow DHCP to and from your
firewall
system. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">When starting "dhcpd", you need to list those
interfaces on the run line. On a RedHat system, this is done by
modifying /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd. </p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2 align="left">If a Firewall Interface gets its IP Address via DHCP</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p align="left">Specify the "dhcp" option for this interface in the
<a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>
file.&nbsp;This will generate rules that will allow DHCP to and from
your firewall system. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">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's entry in the <a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>
file. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">If you don't know the subnet address in advance,
you should specify "detect" for the interface's subnet address in the <a
href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a> file
and start Shorewall after the interface has started. </p>
</li>
<li>
<p align="left">In the event that the subnet address might change
while Shorewall is started, you need to arrange for a "shorewall
refresh" command to be executed when a new dynamic IP address gets
assigned to the interface. Check your DHCP client's documentation. </p>
</li>
</ul>
