Working with DHCP Groups

DHCP Groups groups allow for organizing multiple pools together and linking those pools with one or more servers. Pools may be pushed individually, as a Groupgroup, or at the server level. 

ProVision automatically designates a Default Group for pools to be imported or added into. Creating additional Groups groups is completely optional. 

Add a Group

Create DHCP Groups groups by clicking the "Add Group" Button, then add subnet or host pools under the group by clicking "Add Pool" for the desired Groupgroup.

Pools may be pushed individually, as a part of a DHCP Groupgroup, or through pushing an entire DHCP Serverserver. 

To create a new Groupgroup, from the the DHCP Tab, select the DHCP Groups sub the DHCP Groups sub menu. Then, click the "Add Group" button next to "DNS Groups List".

...

This will open the "Create New Group" dialog. 

Enter the desired Group Name group name and select a parent resource.

...

The new group will be added to the DHCP Groups List. 

Open the Group group container for the new Group group by clicking on the expansion arrow at the top right corner of the header.

Edit a Group's Settings:

Under the desired Groupgroup, expand the "Group Settings" module by clicking on the expansion arrow in the upper right corner of the header.

To add a new pool to a DHCP Groupgroup, click the "Add Pool" button inside the desired Groupgroup. 

Add a Subnet Pool

To add a new subnet pool to a DHCP Groupgroup, select "Subnet" as the Pool Type. Select the parent resource and type in a Subnet Namesubnet name.

To Direct Assign a DHCP pool, select "Direct" for the Assignment assignment type, choose IPv4 or IPv6 for the IP type, then type in the desired IP Addressaddress. 

All other fields are optional - Resource, Region, IPAM Rules, and VLAN may be selected to further narrow the block criteria, if duplicate blocks exist. If desired, toggle "Assign Default Gateway" on.

...

To add a new host pool to a DHCP Groupgroup, select "Host" as the Pool Typepool type. Select the parent resource,  and add a Hostname hostname and MAC Addressaddress.

To Smart Assign a DHCP pool, select "Smart" for the Assignment assignment type and choose IPv4 or IPv6 for the IP type.

...

To Direct Assign a DHCP pool, select "Direct" for the Assignment assignment type, choose IPv4 or IPv6 for the IP type, then type in the desired IP Addressaddress.

Before pushing a group, expand the "Attached Servers" section and verify that the correct server is attached to the DHCP Groupgroup. 

Manual Group Push

After verifying the attached server, manually push the Group group by clicking the "Push Group" button under the desired DHCP Groupgroup. 

A DHCP Push Status window appears. If successful, a green "Finished DHCP Pushing Request" will appear as the final message.

...

Scheduled pushes may be set up through the "Schedule Push" button for the Groupgroup.

Click "Schedule Push" for the Groupgroup, then select a date, time (24 hour), add a notification email address, and click "Save changes". 

The Scheduled scheduled task will be shown in both the Group group details (under "Scheduled Tasks") and the the Admin Scheduler task list.

...

Delete a non-Default Group by clicking on the "X" to the left of the Groupgroup's name in the DHCP Groups List. When you delete a DHCP Groupgroup, pools under the group will not be deleted. They will no longer be associated with a DHCP Groupgroup, and can be managed from the DHCP Pools listList.
