Explanation

An interface’s role (for example, WAN or DMZ) determines whether DHCP server configuration is allowed. If the interface is set to a role such as WAN, FortiGate restricts enabling DHCP server service on that interface. To enable DHCP, the interface role must be changed to LAN or Internal, which supports DHCP server functionality.
