[IPCop-user] How do I configure DHCP on ORANGE

[Roger Haslock]

My IPCOP machine has two network ports, one GREEN and
one ORANGE. I've used GREEN to confirm connectivity,
and now want to configure DHCP for the ORANGE sub-net
as well.
... but admin only offers me GREEN and BLUE.

Am I doing something wrong?

I would be grateful for guidance on this.

No. You can't configure DHCP on orange. IPCop isn't designed to allow that.

(Unless you want to manually edit a whole bunch of files, which is not
recommended.)

This isn't possible in the default IPCop setup. I don't know why you
want to use DHCP for servers in DMZ (maybe best I don't ask why).

If you really want to have DHCP on orange and don't want to run it on a
box in the DMZ, consider switching to a Red Blue Green config instead of
Red Orange Green as you have how.

Cheers

Thank you. I will take your hint and use BLUE. I had
not appreciated that ORANGE was for DMZ. The
documentation suggests that BLUE is for wireless, of
which I have none, so I ignored that.
