Adding DHCP Servers

...

DHCP Server Configuration is tied into the Resource Manager. To add a DHCP Server to ProVision, you can either use the "Create a New DHCP Server" dialog area from the DHCP Tab.

...

In order to use DHCP functions and add DHCP scopesPools, the scopes IP blocks need to be defined in the IPAM section.

For a new aggregate, simple add it using the correct checkbox option as outlined below (Use the Add Aggregate function on the IPAM Tab). This will ensure the block is automatically added to the DHCP Available Resource and thus usable when building DHCP Server Configurations and defining DHCP Pools.

If you would like to use an existing aggregate or part of an existing aggregate, you simply need to "assign" the block (Action Menu) to the Resource Holder "DHCP Available" as shown below.

Once the IP block is assigned to DHCP Available, it will be available to assign to a DHCP Pool via the DHCP Gadget.

Managing DHCP Server Configurations

Once DHCP functions are enabled for a Resource Section/Type, you will be able to manage configurations per Resource as expected by expanding the relevant areas.
