Adding DHCP Service

DHCP servers require Micetro Agents and need to be added using their fully qualified names (such as dns1.europe.ad.mmdemo.local).

Note

Servers in Microsoft Active Directory environments can be added without installing an agent. See Agent-free Management of DNS/DHCP Servers.

Note

ISC DHCP servers require a DHCP agent to be installed on each DHCP server. Kea servers require only one DHCP agent installed in the system, either on the machine running Kea, or a machine that can connect to the Kea Control Agent through the network.

The following table demonstrates the different options when adding a DHCP Server.

See Agent-free Management of DNS/DHCP Servers.

Alternatively, you can configure a socket for communication in kea-dhcp4.conf.

Important

To add Kea servers to Micetro, they need to be configured with the libdhcp_lease_cmds.so library. See Adding Kea to Micetro for details.

Services are managed on the Admin page in the Service Management section. There you select Add Service to add a new server.

For further details, see Adding a Service in the Admin Guide.
