    <p align="left">When starting &quot;dhcpd&quot;, you need to list those
    interfaces on the run line. On a RedHat system, this is done by modifying
    /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.</li>

<h2 align="left">A Firewall Interface gets its IP Address via DHCP</h2>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p align="left">Specify the &quot;dhcp&quot; option for this interface in
    the <a href="Documentation.htm#Interfaces">/etc/shorewall/interfaces</a>
    file.</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.</li>
  <li>
    <p align="left">If you don't know the subnet address in advance, you should
    specify &quot;detect&quot; 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.</li>
  <li>
    <p align="left">In the event that the subnet address might change while
    Shorewall is started, you need to arrange for a &quot;shorewall
    refresh&quot; command to be executed when a new dynamic IP address gets
    assigned to the interface. Check your DHCP client's documentation.</li>
