FVS318Gv2 DHCP in DMZ

Can the FVS318Gv2 issue DHCP addresses to both the LAN subnet and a separate DMZ subnet?  The idea is that i'd like to create a guest wi-fi and use the DMZ to issue IP Addresses separate from the LAN subnet.

 

The manual indicates that DHCP can be enabled in the DMZ, however, it is not clear if it can be a separate subnet from the LAN subnet.  There is a note in the manual on page 3-13 that indicates that the DHCP server in the DMZ should be the same as the LAN IP Addresses. This seems to defeat the purpose a separate DMZ with it's own port.

 

"Note: The starting and ending DHCP addresses should be in the same subnet as the LAN IP address of the VPN firewall (the IP address that is configured in the LAN TCP/IP Setup section of the screen)."

 

Just looking for some clarification.

Thanks!

    Welcome to the community! 

    Yes,the FVS318Gv2 can issue DHCP addresses to both the LAN subnet and a separate DMZ subnet.For example you can config the lan to 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, dmz:176.16.2.1/255.255.255.0
