Add a DHCP Profile

Before you can configure DHCP on a segment, you must add a DHCP profile in your network. You can create two types of DHCP profiles: DHCP server profile and DHCP relay profile.

A DHCP profile can be used simultaneously by multiple segments and gateways in your network.

• On an overlay segment that is connected to the downlink interface of a tier-0 or a tier-1 gateway, you can attach either a DHCP server profile or a DHCP relay profile.
• On an overlay or VLAN segment that is connected to the service interface of a tier-0 or a tier-1 gateway, you can attach either a DHCP server profile or a DHCP relay profile.
• On an isolated segment (overlay or VLAN) that is not connected to a gateway, you can attach only a DHCP server profile. Isolated segment supports only a Local DHCP server.
