DHCP Configuration (IPv4 and IPv6) for SA Provisioning

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) specifies how to assign dynamic IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to servers on a network. SA Provisioning uses DHCP to allow network booting and configuration of unprovisioned and managed servers in the Server Pool. DHCP is also used to configure networking on newly provisioned servers that have not been assigned a static network configuration.

For SA Provisioning, you may use either the DHCP server included with SA, an existing ISC DHCP server or Microsoft 2012x64/2012r2 DHCP Server. The instructions for configuring these DHCP servers are in the following sections:

SA also supports Windows and Linux booting in DHCPless environments (static IP).
