I added the link I found to the original message. Missed that initially.
I can't really comment to much on what's coming in public, for that you should better reach out to your local HPE Aruba team. In the SD-Branch solution (AOS10/Central) there are options to automatically distribute and assign IP pools to the networks at locations, and in the same step arrange/orchestrate the routing between sites. That's designed to work at scale. Seems you are looking at smaller scale.

Hi Herman,
Thanks for the reply appreciate it, do you have the link you mentioned to the advanced examples? Or is there documentation on example configuration steps (ive not found anything of use so far that runs through this from written text or videos)
Is there a place that details potential future releases of Aruba Central Functionality? I only ask as Meraki offers a very straight forward way to administer DHCP for multiple VLANS including reservations / exclusions all from the Dashboard UI with no CLI. It would be a gamechanger for Aruba Central to have this functionality for CX only switch setups so that on premise DHCP servers can be fully retired without needing to just use the CLI.
Kind Regards

You probably would need to use MultiEdit to add the DHCP configuration as CLI commands, I don't think it's available as UI config. Here is a page that has some (advanced) examples on CX DHCP Server Configuration. Note that the IP allocation, after DHCP server is configured on the switch, will happen on the switch independent from Central.

Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice around the best way to configure multiple DHCP Score Management from Aruba Central while using Aruba CX switches only.
Im more familiar with the previous AOS-S DHCP management and Meraki DHCP Management from the Cloud console but struggling how to implement the below from the AOS-CX menu interface.
10+ VLANS
1 x DHCP Pool per VLAN with the issuing of the addresses managed from Aruba Central
Is this possible or does it have to be applied via the CLI? Seems like im misisng something obvious when looking at the menus
(main aim is to retire the on premise DHCP server which is currently assigned to the VLANS as a relay server and working ok)
Any help on the steps required would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
