If a firewall has its interfaces statically configured and does not run
a DHCP server itself, but there is a DHCP server in the dmz zone to
provide machines of the loc zone with TCP/IP configurations, on what
interfaces must the dhcp option in the Interfaces file be specified?
According to the manual
dhcp Specify this option when any of the following are true:
1. the interface gets its IP address via DHCP
2. the interface is used by a DHCP server running on the
firewall
3. you have a static IP but are on a LAN segment with
lots of DHCP clients.
4. the interface is a bridge with a DHCP server on one
port and DHCP clients on another port.
1. does not apply to any of the interfaces.
2. does not apply.
3. seems to apply to the interface for the loc zone, (shouldn't
'you have' not better be rephrased as 'the interface has')
4. does this apply to my situation?
What is meant here by 'port' (TCP/UDP port number ?)
How to interpret the word 'bridge'. Is it just in the general meaning
of a 'path' (from the DHCP server in dmz zone to the machines
in the loc zone) or in a restricted network-technology term of bridge?
