Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0.

dhcpv6 stanza introduced in Junos OS Release 9.6.

Description

Configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) local server options on the router and enable the router to function as an extended DHCP local server. The DHCP local server receives DHCP request and reply packets from DHCP clients and then responds with an IP address and other optional configuration information to the client.

The DHCP local server supports the attachment of dynamic profiles and also interacts with the local AAA Service Framework to use back-end authentication servers, such as RADIUS, to provide subscriber authentication. You can configure dynamic profile and authentication support on a global basis or for a specific group of interfaces.

The DHCP local server also supports the use of Junos address-assignment pools or external authorities, such as RADIUS, to provide the client address and configuration information.

The extended DHCP local server is incompatible with the DHCP server on J Series routers and so is not supported on J Series routers. Also, the DHCP local server and the DHCP/BOOTP relay server, which are configured under the [edit forwarding-options helpers] hierarchy level, cannot both be enabled on the router at the same time. The extended DHCP local server is fully compatible with the extended DHCP relay feature.

The dhcpv6 stanza configures the router to support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6). The DHCPv6 local server is fully compatible with the extended DHCP local server and the extended DHCP relay feature.

Note: When you configure the dhcp-local-server statement at the routing instance hierarchy level, you must use a routing instance type of virtual-router.

The remaining statements are explained separately.
