The DHCP service can serve multiple shared networks, with each +shared network having 1 or more subnets. Each subnet must be present on an +interface. A range can be declared inside a subnet to define a pool of dynamic +addresses. Multiple ranges can be defined and can contain holes. Static +mappings can be set to assign "static" addresses to clients based on their MAC +address. + +Configuration +------------- + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> authoritative + + This says that this device is the only DHCP server for this network. If other + devices are trying to offer DHCP leases, this machine will send 'DHCPNAK' to + any device trying to request an IP address that is not valid for this + network. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> default-router <address> + + This is a configuration parameter for the `<subnet>`, saying that as part of + the response, tell the client that the default gateway can be reached at + `<address>`. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> dns-server <address> + + This is a configuration parameter for the subnet, saying that as part of the + response, tell the client that the DNS server can be found at `<address>`. + + Multiple DNS servers can be defined. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> lease <time> + + Assign the IP address to this machine for `<time>` seconds. + + The default value is 86400 seconds which corresponds to one day. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> range <n> start <address> + + Create DHCP address range with a range id of `<n>`.

This address will never + be assigned by the DHCP server. + + This option can be specified multiple times. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> domain-name <domain-name> + + The domain-name parameter should be the domain name that will be appended to + the client's hostname to form a fully-qualified domain-name (FQDN) (DHCP + Option 015). + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> domain-search <domain-name> + + The domain-name parameter should be the domain name used when completing DNS + request where no full FQDN is passed. This option can be given multiple times + if you need multiple search domains (DHCP Option 119). + + +Failover +^^^^^^^^ + +VyOS provides support for DHCP failover. DHCP failover must be configured +explicitly by the following statements. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> failover local-address <address> + + Local IP `<address>` used when communicating to the failover peer. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> failover peer-address <address> + + Remote peer IP `<address>` of the second DHCP server in this failover cluster. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> failover name <name> + + A generic `<name>` referencing this sync service. + + .. note:: `<name>` must be identical on both sides! + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> failover status <primary | secondary> + + The primary and secondary statements determines whether the server is primary + or secondary. + + .. note:: In order for the primary and the secondary DHCP server to keep + their lease tables in sync, they must be able to reach each other on TCP + port 647. If you have firewall rules in effect, adjust them accordingly. + + .. hint:: The dialogue between failover partners is neither encrypted nor + authenticated. Since most DHCP servers exist within an organisation's own + secure Intranet, this would be an unnecessary overhead. However, if you have + DHCP failover peers whose communications traverse insecure networks, then we + recommend that you consider the use of VPN tunneling between them to ensure + that the failover partnership is immune to disruption (accidental or + otherwise) via third parties. + + +Static mappings +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +You can specify a static DHCP assignment on a per host basis. You will need the +MAC address of the station and your desired IP address. The address must be +inside the subnet definition but can be outside of the range statement. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> static-mapping <description> mac-address <address> + + Create a new DHCP static mapping named `<description>` which is valid for + the host identified by its MAC `<address>`. + +.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> static-mapping <description> ip-address <address> + + Static DHCP IP address assign to host identified by `<description>`.
