+DHCP Server
+-----------
+
+Multiple DHCP Servers can be run from a single machine. Each DHCP service is
+identified by a `shared-network-name`.
+
+DHCP Server Example
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In this example, we are offering address space in the 172.16.17.0/24 network,
+which is on eth1, and pppoe0 is our connection to the internet. We are using
+the network name `dhcpexample`.
+
+Prerequisites
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Configuring the PPPoE interface is assumed to be done already, and appears
+on `pppoe0`
+
+Interface Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set interface eth1 address 172.16.17.1/24
+
+Multiple ranges can be defined and can contain holes.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample authoritative
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 default-router 172.16.17.1
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 dns-server 172.16.17.1
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 lease 86400
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 range 0 start 172.16.17.100
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 range 0 stop 172.16.17.199
+
+
+Explanation
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample 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.
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet
+ 172.16.17.0/24 default-router 172.16.17.1`
+
+ This is a configuration parameter for the subnet, saying that as part of the
+ response, tell the client that I am the default router for this network
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet
+ 172.16.17.0/24 dns-server 172.16.17.1`
+
+ This is a configuration parameter for the subnet, saying that as part of the
+ response, tell the client that I am the DNS server for this network. If you
+ do not want to run a DNS server, you could also provide one of the public
+ DNS servers, such as google's. You can add multiple entries by repeating the
+ line.
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet
+ 172.16.17.0/24 lease 86400`
+
+ Assign the IP address to this machine for 24 hours. It is unlikely you'd need
+ to shorten this period, unless you are running a network with lots of devices
+ appearing and disappearing.
+
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet
+ 172.16.17.0/24 range 0 start 172.16.17.100`
+
+ Make a range of addresses available for clients starting from .100 [...]
+
+* :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet
+ 172.16.17.0/24 range 0 stop 172.16.17.199`
+
+ [...] and ending at .199
+
+
+Failover
+^^^^^^^^
+
+VyOS provides support for DHCP failover:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name 'LAN' subnet '192.168.0.0/24' failover local-address '192.168.0.1'
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name 'LAN' subnet '192.168.0.0/24' failover name 'foo'
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name 'LAN' subnet '192.168.0.0/24' failover peer-address '192.168.0.2'
+
+.. note:: `name` must be identical on both sides!
+
+The primary and secondary statements determines whether the server is
+primary or secondary
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name 'LAN' subnet '192.168.0.0/24' failover status 'primary'
+
+or
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name 'LAN' subnet '192.168.0.0/24' failover status '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.
+
+Static mappings MAC/IP
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 static-mapping static-mapping-01 ip-address 172.16.17.10
+ set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 static-mapping static-mapping-01 mac-address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
+
+DHCP server options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+default-router (DHCP option 003)
+ :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 default-router <ROUTER-IP>`
+
+dns-server (DHCP option 006)
+ :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 dns-server <DNS-SERVER-IP>`
+
+domain-name Client domain name (DHCP option 015)
+ :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 domain-name "<DOMAIN-NAME>"`
+
+domain-search (DHCP option 119)
+ This option can be given multiple times if you need multiple search domains
+ :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 domain-search "<DOMAIN_NAME_1>"`
+ :code:`set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 172.16.17.0/24 domain-search "<DOMAIN_NAME_2>"`
