To use the DHCP service to assign IP addresses and other network configurations to clients, you must enable it on the LAN port of the site device where the clients are connected to.
Step 1. (Optional) Configure a LAN Interface of the Site Device
Skip this step if you have already configured a LAN interface during deployment and want to use this interface. For more information, see How to Create a T/VT Site Configuration in Barracuda SecureEdge.
