-DHCP Server
-===========
-
-The network topology is declared by shared-network-name and the subnet
-declarations. 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>`. DHCP leases are taken
- from this pool. The pool starts at address `<address>`.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> range <n> stop <address>
-
- Create DHCP address range with a range id of `<n>`. DHCP leases are taken
- from this pool. The pool stops with address `<address>`.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> exclude <address>
-
- Always exclude this address from any defined range. 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>`. IP
- address must be inside the `<subnet>` which is defined but can be outside
- the dynamic range created with :cfgcmd:`set service dhcp-server
- shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> range <n>`. If no ip-address is
- specified, an IP from the dynamic pool is used.
-
- This is useful, for example, in combination with hostfile update.
-
- .. hint:: This is the equivalent of the host block in dhcpd.conf of isc-dhcpd.

-Raw Parameters
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Raw parameters can be passed to shared-network-name, subnet and static-mapping:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> shared-network-parameters
- <text> Additional shared-network parameters for DHCP server.
- set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> subnet-parameters
- <text> Additional subnet parameters for DHCP server.
- set service dhcp-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <subnet> static-mapping <description> static-mapping-parameters
- <text> Additional static-mapping parameters for DHCP server.
- Will be placed inside the "host" block of the mapping.
-
-These parameters are passed as-is to isc-dhcp's dhcpd.conf under the
-configuration node they are defined in. They are not validated so an error in
-the raw parameters won't be caught by vyos's scripts and will cause dhcpd to
-fail to start. Always verify that the parameters are correct before committing
-the configuration. Refer to isc-dhcp's dhcpd.conf manual for more information:
-https://kb.isc.org/docs/isc-dhcp-44-manual-pages-dhcpdconf
-
-Quotes can be used inside parameter values by replacing all quote characters
-with the string ``&quot;``. They will be replaced with literal quote characters
-when generating dhcpd.conf.

-DHCPv6 Server
-=============
-
-VyOS also provides DHCPv6 server functionality which is described in this
-section.
-
-Configuration Options
----------------------
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server preference <preference value>
-
- Clients receiving advertise messages from multiple servers choose the server
- with the highest preference value. The range for this value is ``0...255``.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> lease-time {default | maximum | minimum}
-
- The default lease time for DHCPv6 leases is 24 hours. This can be changed by
- supplying a ``default-time``, ``maximum-time`` and ``minimum-time``. All
- values need to be supplied in seconds.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> nis-domain <domain-name>
-
- A :abbr:`NIS (Network Information Service)` domain can be set to be used for
- DHCPv6 clients.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> nisplus-domain <domain-name>
-
- The procedure to specify a :abbr:`NIS+ (Network Information Service Plus)`
- domain is similar to the NIS domain one:
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> nis-server <address>
-
- Specify a NIS server address for DHCPv6 clients.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> nisplus-server <address>
-
- Specify a NIS+ server address for DHCPv6 clients.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> sip-server <address | fqdn>
-
- Specify a :abbr:`SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)` server by IPv6
- address of Fully Qualified Domain Name for all DHCPv6 clients.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> sntp-server-address <address>
-
- A SNTP server address can be specified for DHCPv6 clients.
-
-Prefix Delegation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-To hand out individual prefixes to your clients the following configuration is
-used:
-
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> prefix-delegation start <address> prefix-length <length>
-
- Hand out prefixes of size `<length>` to clients in subnet `<prefix>` when
- they request for prefix delegation.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name <name> subnet <prefix> prefix-delegation start <address> stop <address>
-
- Delegate prefixes from the range indicated by the start and stop qualifier.
-
-Address pools
--------------
-
-DHCPv6 address pools must be configured for the system to act as a DHCPv6
-server. The following example describes a common scenario.
-
-**Example:**
-
-* A shared network named ``NET1`` serves subnet ``2001:db8::/64``
-* It is connected to ``eth1``
-* DNS server is located at ``2001:db8::ffff``
-* Address pool shall be ``2001:db8::100`` through ``2001:db8::199``.
-* Lease time will be left at the default value which is 24 hours
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name 'NET1' subnet 2001:db8::/64 address-range start 2001:db8::100 stop 2001:db8::199
- set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name 'NET1' subnet 2001:db8::/64 name-server 2001:db8::ffff
-
-The configuration will look as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- show service dhcpv6-server
- shared-network-name NET1 {
- subnet 2001:db8::/64 {
- address-range {
- start 2001:db8::100 {
- stop 2001:db8::199
- }
- }
- name-server 2001:db8::ffff
- }
- }
-
-Static mappings
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In order to map specific IPv6 addresses to specific hosts static mappings can
-be created. The following example explains the process.
-
-**Example:**
-
-* IPv6 address ``2001:db8::101`` shall be statically mapped
-* Host specific mapping shall be named ``client1``
-
-.. hint:: The identifier is the device's DUID: colon-separated hex list (as
- used by isc-dhcp option dhcpv6.client-id). If the device already has a
- dynamic lease from the DHCPv6 server, its DUID can be found with ``show
- service dhcpv6 server leases``. The DUID begins at the 5th octet (after the
- 4th colon) of IAID_DUID.
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name 'NET1' subnet 2001:db8::/64 static-mapping client1 ipv6-address 2001:db8::101
- set service dhcpv6-server shared-network-name 'NET1' subnet 2001:db8::/64 static-mapping client1 identifier 00:01:00:01:12:34:56:78:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
-
-The configuration will look as follows:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- show service dhcp-server shared-network-name NET1
- shared-network-name NET1 {
- subnet 2001:db8::/64 {
- name-server 2001:db8:111::111
- address-range {
- start 2001:db8::100 {
- stop 2001:db8::199 {
- }
- }
- static-mapping client1 {
- ipv6-address 2001:db8::101
- identifier 00:01:00:01:12:34:56:78:aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
- }
- }
- }
-

-If you want your router to forward DHCP requests to an external DHCP server
-you can configure the system to act as a DHCP relay agent. The DHCP relay
-agent works with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
-
-All interfaces used for the DHCP relay must be configured.
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay interface <interface>
-
- Enable the DHCP relay service on the given interface.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay server <server>
-
- Configure IP address of the DHCP `<server>` which will handle the relayed
- packets.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options relay-agents-packets discard
-
- The router should discard DHCP packages already containing relay agent
- information to ensure that only requests from DHCP clients are forwarded.
-
-Example
--------
-
-* Listen for DHCP requests on interface ``eth1``.
-* DHCP server is located at IPv4 address 10.0.1.4.
-* Router receives DHCP client requests on ``eth1`` and relays them to the server at 10.0.1.4.

- DHCP relay example
-
-The generated configuration will look like:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- show service dhcp-relay
- interface eth1
- server 10.0.1.4
- relay-options {
- relay-agents-packets discard
- }
-
-Options
--------
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options hop-count <count>
-
- Set the maximum hop `<count>` before packets are discarded. Range 0...255,
- default 10.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options max-size <size>
-
- Set maximum `<size>` of DHCP packets including relay agent information. If a
- DHCP packet size surpasses this value it will be forwarded without appending
- relay agent information. Range 64...1400, default 576.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcp-relay relay-options relay-agents-packet <append | discard | forward | replace>
-
- Four policies for reforwarding DHCP packets exist:
-
- * **append:** The relay agent is allowed to append its own relay information
- to a received DHCP packet, disregarding relay information already present in
- the packet.
-
- * **discard:** Received packets which already contain relay information will
- be discarded.
-
- * **forward:** All packets are forwarded, relay information already present
- will be ignored.
-
- * **replace:** Relay information already present in a packet is stripped and
- replaced with the router's own relay information set.
-
-Operation
----------
-
-.. opcmd:: restart dhcp relay-agent
-
- Restart DHCP relay service
-
-DHCPv6 relay
-============
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay listen-interface <interface>
-
- Set eth1 to be the listening interface for the DHCPv6 relay.
-
- Multiple interfaces may be specified.
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay upstream-interface <interface> address <server>
-
- Specifies an upstream network `<interface>` from which replies from `<server>`
- and other relay agents will be accepted.
-
-Example
-^^^^^^^
-
-* DHCPv6 requests are received by the router on `listening interface` ``eth1``
-* Requests are forwarded through ``eth2`` as the `upstream interface`
-* External DHCPv6 server is at 2001:db8::4

-
-The generated configuration will look like:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
- commit
- show service dhcpv6-relay
- listen-interface eth1 {
- }
- upstream-interface eth2 {
- address 2001:db8::4
- }
-
-Options
--------
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay max-hop-count 'count'
-
- Set maximum hop count before packets are discarded, default: 10
-
-.. cfgcmd:: set service dhcpv6-relay use-interface-id-option
-
- If this is set the relay agent will insert the interface ID. This option is
- set automatically if more than one listening interfaces are in use.
-
-Operation
----------
-
-.. opcmd:: show dhcpv6 relay-agent status
-
- Show the current status of the DHCPv6 relay agent:
-
-.. opcmd:: restart dhcpv6 relay-agent
-
- Restart DHCPv6 relay agent immediately.
