DHCP

DHCPv4 provider configuration. The provider field selects the top-level DHCP engine (local). Relay and proxy modes are configured per-profile in IPv4 profiles via the dhcp.mode field.

Field	Type	Description	Example
provider	string	DHCP provider: local	local

Modes

osvbng supports three DHCPv4 modes, selected per IPv4 profile:

Mode	Description
server	Local DHCP server, allocates addresses from configured pools (default)
relay	RFC 2131 relay agent, forwards DHCP packets to external servers with Option 82 insertion
proxy	DHCP proxy, relays to external servers but manages client-facing leases independently

Mode is configured under ipv4-profiles.<name>.dhcp.mode. See IPv4 Profiles for the full configuration reference.

Example

dhcp:
  provider: local

See IPv4 Profiles for relay and proxy configuration examples and DHCP Relay & Proxy for architecture details.
