When a RED is deployed in Standard/Unified mode, how do the computers on the remote network get their IP addresses?

In a Standard/Unified mode deployment of a RED (Remote Ethernet Device), the computers on the remote network receive their IP addresses from a DHCP server running on the Sophos Firewall. This configuration allows for centralized management and deployment, enabling the firewall to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices on the remote network efficiently.

By utilizing the Sophos Firewall's DHCP server, administrators can ensure that all devices within the remote network are properly registered and have appropriate IP addresses. This setup simplifies the administration of remote locations and ensures consistent network policies and configurations, as the firewall can manage connections and security settings centrally.

When compared to other methods like relying on local IT administrators or static IP assignments, using the firewall's DHCP server offers advantages such as scalability, ease of management, and the ability to quickly adapt to changes in the network.
