Hi

On a USG 60 is it possible for one DHCP server to service multiple VLAN's by splitting DHCP pool or does each VLAN require dedicated DHCP server?

    Zyxel Firewall provides a DHCP server for each VLAN interface. When creating a VLAN interface, you can select DHCP server as the DHCP Setting.

    I don't remember the details for Zyxel devices, but I thought that the whole point of having separate Virtual LANs was to provide each VLAN with its own subnet (and hence its own set of DHCP pool for that subnet). Have I misunderstood something?
