    I’ve seen several people looking for this, be it for management or NAS networks I’m sure other situations as well. As stated clearly in the description “The default is to use the IP on this interface of the firewall as the gateway. Specify an alternate gateway here if this is not the correct gateway for your network.” It will assign itself as the default gateway if left blank. This is an issue for networks intending to not have internet access because they can often become preferred networks for traffic.

    I’m hoping for something such as a check box near this section with say, something like: “Do not assign gateway”.

      maybe you can save your $50  ;)

      under "Additional BOOTP/DHCP Options" put
      number :3
      type: IP address or host
      value: 0.0.0.0
