Creating DHCP Profiles (SRC CLI)

When the SAE receives a DHCP discover request from the router, it uses the client’s MAC address to find a DHCP profile in cache or in the directory. If it finds a DHCP profile, the SAE uses the information in the profile to create a discover decision that it returns to the router. The discover decision includes information to select an IP address and DHCP options to configure the DHCP client.

When a DHCP subscriber logs in to the SAE through a Web portal, the SAE registers the subscriber’s equipment and creates a cached DHCP profile in the o=AuthCache directory. These profiles are keyed by the MAC address of the DHCP client device. They are created by the grantPublicIp or the registerEquipment methods.

DHCP profiles are stored in the o=AuthCache directory in the dhcpProfile object class. The dhcpProfile object class is subordinate to the cachedAuthenticationProfiles object class. Manually created profiles are keyed by the cn (common name) attribute.

Use the following configuration statements to create a DHCP profile:

To create a DHCP profile:

1. From configuration mode, enter the DHCP cached authentication profile configuration. In this sample procedure, dhcp-profile is the name of the DHCP cached authentication profile.
   user@host# edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile
2. (Optional) Configure a description for the profile.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set description description
3. (Optional) Configure the name of the IP address pool on the JunosE router from which a DHCP address is selected.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set pool-name pool-name
4. (Optional) Configure the fixed IP address that is offered to the DHCP client if the client is part of a network in the configured DHCP pool.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set ip-address ip-address
5. (Optional) Configure the DHCP options that are used to configure DHCP clients.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set dhcp-options dhcp-options
6. (Optional) Configure the name of the server used to boot the DHCP client.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set boot-server-name boot-server-name
7. (Optional) Configure the name of a boot file used to boot the DHCP client.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set boot-file-name boot-file-name
8. (Optional) Configure the name of the JunosE virtual router that holds the IP address pool.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set virtual-router virtual-router
9. (Optional) Configure the name of the JunosE interface that is used to check the validity of system-created DHCP profiles.
   [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set local-interface local-interface
10. (Optional) Configure the length of time the supplied IP address is valid.
    [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set lease-time lease-time
11. (Optional) Configure the name of DHCP user without the domain name.
    [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set user-name user-name
12. (Optional) Configure the vendor-specific RADIUS attribute that specifies the SRC service bundle to use.
    [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set service-bundle service-bundle
13. (Optional) Configure the RADIUS attribute class.
    [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]user@host# set radius-class radius-class
14. (Optional) Verify your configuration.

    [edit shared auth-cache cached-dhcp-profile dhcp-profile]
    user@host# show 
    boot-file-name boot.client;
    boot-server-name 10.212.10.180;
    description 'This DHCP profile is used to select addresses from the "pool100" pool.';
    dhcp-options 50;
    ip-address 100.100.100.100;
    lease-time 3600;
    local-interface *;
    pool-name pool100;
    radius-class 0x53425232434cd;
    service-bundle *;
    user-name jane;
    virtual-router *;
