How get the RVS4000's DHCP server to assign another IP address other than its own as the default gateway to its DHCP clients?

Hi,

I have a RVS4000 router with DHCP enabled and in router mode. 

The LAN is 192.168.2.x.  The RVS4000 static IP address is 192.168.2.8

The router is not the RVS4000 and is at 192.168.2.1

The RVS4000 dhcp is assigning it's clients a default gateway of 192.168.2.8 instead of what I want 192.168.2.1.

How can I get the RVS4000's DHCP server to assign another IP address other than its own as the default gateway to its DHCP clients?

Thanks

Hi Gail, you cannot do this. The router, as the DHCP server will only assign a default gateway of what IP interface the DHCP server runs on. If you have the default IP, the gateway is 192.168.1.1. If you create a second vlan, by default it would be 192.168.2.1.

There are not configuration options for the built-in DHCP server. If you'd like to expand this functionality, you would need an external dhcp server.
