Managing DHCP Service
vShield Edge supports IP address pooling and one-to-one static IP address allocation. Static IP address binding
is based on the vCenter managed object ID and interface ID of the requesting client.
vShield Edge DHCP service adheres to the following guidelines:
n
Listens on the vShield Edge internal interface for DHCP discovery.
n
Uses the IP address of the internal interface on vShield Edge as the default gateway address for all clients,
and the broadcast and subnet mask values of the internal interface for the container network.
You must restart the DHCP service on client virtual machines in the following situations:
n
You changed or deleted a DHCP pool, default gateway, or DNS server.
n
You changed the internal IP address of the vShield Edge instance.
Add a DHCP IP Pool
DHCP service requires a pool of IP addresses. An IP pool is a sequential range of IP addresses within the
network. Virtual machines protected by vShield Edge that do not have an address binding are allocated an IP
address from this pool. An IP pool's range cannot intersect one another, thus one IP address can belong to only
one IP pool.
