How does Centralized L3 DHCP relay agent functionality works on IAP 4.0 ? 

Jun 29, 2014 07:25 PM

 

•       Centralized L3 DHCP scope - Virtual Controller acts as DHCP Relay agent
•       Centralized DHCP server - provides IP addresses for multiple networks
•       VC and DHCP server are located in different network
•       VC acts as gateway for the clients
•       Typical deployment model is DHCP server is behind a controller on corporate network, which can be reached through IPSec.

Typical Scenario:-
--------------------


•       DHCP server is behind IPSec tunnel.
•       VC forwards DHCP requests through tunnel to reach DHCP server located at Corporate network
•       Route addition happens in controller for Centralized L3 network configured
•       Client traffic to non-corporate destinations will be src-natted on the IAP.

6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (config) # ip dhcp cl3
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # server-type Centralized,L3
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # server-vlan 2003
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # dhcp-relay
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # vlan-ip 172.16.4.7 mask 255.255.255.0
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # dhcp-server 172.16.6.100
6c:f3:7f:c3:5b:f8 (DHCP Profile "cl3") # end
