SSL VPN & DHCP was created by sgibbs
I posted this incorrectly in the Routers & Firewalls section - reposting in the correct section...

I have recently just setup a SSL VPN on my shiny new 2866AX (FW 4.4.1). This is working great, with the exception of DHCP. I have two DHCP servers on the LAN, however, it seems that the SSL VPN insists on issuing IP's from the router DHCP even though this is disabled!
Is there any way to force the SSL VPN to utilise my existing DHCP servers?
I currently have DHCP disabled on the Draytek. I have also tried configuring DHCP relay to my existing DHCP servers but this had no effect.
Any ideas appreciated..

What do you have set in "VPN and Remote Access >> PPP General Setup",

in the "IP Address Assignment for Dial-In Users when DHCP is disabled." section :?:

Hmm.. I seem to have missed the statement "IP Address Assignment for Dial-In Users when DHCP is disabled."! I thought I had checked pretty much everything.
I guess that means that I can't use my existing DHCP servers and should just apply an exclusion and let the router handle the VPN DHCP assignment.
Thanks for pointing out the (now) obvious bits I missed.
