DHCP Server¶
VyOS uses ISC DHCP server for both IPv4 and IPv6 address assignment.
IPv4 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¶
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.
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>.
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.
Assign the IP address to this machine for <time> seconds.
The default value is 86400 seconds which corresponds to one day.
Create DHCP address range with a range id of <n>. DHCP leases are taken from this pool. The pool starts at address <address>.
Create DHCP address range with a range id of <n>. DHCP leases are taken from this pool. The pool stops with address <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.
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).
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.
The primary and secondary statements determines whether the server is primary or secondary.
注解
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.
提示
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.
Create a new DHCP static mapping named <description> which is valid for the host identified by its MAC <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 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.
提示
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:
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 "
. They will be replaced with literal quote characters
when generating dhcpd.conf.
Example¶
Please see the DHCP/DNS 快速开始 configuration.
Failover¶

The secondary DHCP server uses address 192.168.189.253
DHCP range spans from 192.168.189.10 - 192.168.189.250
Common configuration, valid for both primary and secondary node.
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name NET-VYOS subnet 192.0.2.0/24 default-router '192.0.2.254'

An option that takes a quoted string is set by replacing all quote characters with the string
"
inside the static-mapping-parameters value. The resulting line in dhcpd.conf will beoption pxelinux.configfile "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-15-17-44-2d-aa";
.
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcpexample subnet 192.0.2.0/24 static-mapping example static-mapping-parameters "option domain-name-servers 192.0.2.11, 192.0.2.12;"

提示
Static mappings aren’t shown. To show all states, use
show dhcp server leases state all
.
Sort the output by the specified key. Possible keys: ip, hardware_address, state, start, end, remaining, pool, hostname (default = ip)
IPv6 server¶
VyOS also provides DHCPv6 server functionality which is described in this section.
Configuration¶
Clients receiving advertise messages from multiple servers choose the server
with the highest preference value. The range for this value is 0...255
.
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.
Prefix Delegation¶
To hand out individual prefixes to your clients the following configuration is used:
Hand out prefixes of size <length> to clients in subnet <prefix> when they request for prefix delegation.
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 subnet2001:db8::/64
It is connected to
eth1
DNS server is located at
2001:db8::ffff
Address pool shall be
2001:db8::100
through2001:db8::199
.Lease time will be left at the default value which is 24 hours
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:
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 mappedHost specific mapping shall be named
client1
提示
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.
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:
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
}
}
}
