Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.4.0.2-4.1 | User Guide DHCP Configuration | 201
Chapter 13
DHCP Configuration
This chapter provides the following information:
l Configuring DHCP Scopes on page 201
l Configuring the Default DHCP Scope for Client IP Assignment on page 208
Configuring DHCP Scopes
The virtual controller supports different modes of DHCP address assignment. With each DHCP address assignment
mode, various client traffic forwarding modes are associated. For more information on client traffic forwarding modes
for IAP-VPN, see IAP-VPN Forwarding Modes on page 224.
You can configure the default DHCP scope for virtual controller assigned networks, Distributed L2, Distributed L3,
Local or NAT DHCP, Local L3, and Centralized DHCP scopes through the Instant UI or CLI.
This section describes the following procedures:
l Configuring the Default DHCP Scope for Client IP Assignment on page 208
l Configuring Distributed DHCP Scopes on page 201
l Configuring a Centralized DHCP Scope on page 204
l Configuring Local and Local,L3 DHCP Scopes on page 206
Configuring Distributed DHCP Scopes
Instant allows you to configure the DHCP address assignment for the branches connected to the corporate network
through VPN. You can configure the range of DHCP IP addresses used in the branches and the number of client
addresses allowed per branch. You can also specify the IP addresses that must be excluded from those assigned to
clients, so that they are assigned statically.
Instant supports the following distributed DHCP scopes:
l Distributed, L2 In this mode, the Virtual Controller acts as the DHCP server, but the default gateway is in the
data center. Based on the number of clients specified for each branch, the range of IP addresses is divided.
Based on the IP address range and client count configuration, the DHCP server in the Virtual Controller controls a
scope that is a subset of the complete IP Address range for the subnet distributed across all the branches. This
DHCP Assignment mode is used with the L2 forwarding mode.
l Distributed, L3 In this mode, the Virtual Controller acts as the DHCP server and the default gateway. Based
on the number of clients specified for each branch, the range of IP addresses is divided. Based on the IP address
range and client count configuration, the DHCP server in the Virtual Controller is configured with a unique subnet
and a corresponding scope.
You can configure distributed DHCP scopes such as Distributed, L2 or Distributed,L3 by using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To configure distributed DHCP scopes such as Distributed,L2 or Distributed,L3:
1. Click More > DHCP Server. The DHCP Server window is displayed.
2. To configure a distributed DHCP mode, click New under Distributed DHCP Scopes. The New DHCP Scope
window is displayed. The following figure shows the contents of the New DHCP Scope window.
