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 a server controller. See Agent-free management of DNS/DHCP servers.
Note
ISC DHCP servers require a DHCP Server Controller to be installed on each DHCP server. Kea servers require only one DHCP Server Controller 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.
Server type |
Description |
|---|---|
Microsoft Agent-Free [1] (Use proxy not checked) |
The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine running the Men&Mice Central Component, and that machine will be used as a proxy. Micetro is not able to track lease history data. |
Microsoft Agent-Free [1] (Use proxy checked) |
The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine identified in the Use proxy server field, and that machine will be used as a proxy. Micetro is not able to track lease history data. |
Microsoft with Agent Installed |
The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the remote DHCP server. Micetro is able to track lease history data. |
ISC DHCP |
Either a Unix server running the ISC DHCPD or a Men&Mice Appliance with the |
ISC Kea (Agent-free) [1] |
A server running ISC Kea with the Kea Control Agent installed and accessible for the DHCP Server Controller. |
ISC Kea |
A server running ISC Kea with a DHCP Server Controller and Control Agent installed. [2] |
Cisco (Use proxy not checked) |
The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine running the Men&Mice Central Component, and that machine will be used as a proxy. |
Cisco (Use proxy checked) |
The DHCP Server Controller has been installed on the machine identified in the Use proxy server field, and that machine will be used as a proxy. |
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.
