Configuring Banana Pi R4 (BPI-R4) as a DHCP Server for Multiple Subnets
Summary
This article provides a technical guide on configuring the Banana Pi R4 (BPI-R4) as a DHCP server capable of assigning IP addresses across multiple subnets. It explains how to utilize the device's four Ethernet ports (three LAN and one WAN) to create separate subnets with routed traffic between them, including connecting the WAN port to an internet-connected local network.

· 5 pulledWe are going to set up the Banana Pi R4 as a DHCP server that assigns IP addresses on multiple subnets.
The Banana Pi R3 has four 1-gigabit Ethernet ports, which we will use to create four subnets.
These four subnets will allow traffic to be routed between them.
There are three Local Area Network (LAN) ports and one Wide Area Network (WAN) port.
The three remaining ports will allow for three networks that are given automatic IP addresses through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
