Chapter 1 What’s New for FortiOS 5.0 : Other new features : New interface features - DHCP server and authentication : Adding a DHCP server to an interface
  
Adding a DHCP server to an interface
To add a DHCP server to an interface, edit the interface and select Enable DHCP Server. Then you can specify the address range, netmask, default gateway and DNS servers provided by the DHCP server. An interface must have a static IP address to add a DHCP server to it.
