After configuring a Dual Stacked DHCP server and DHCPv6 on Juniper SRX, it’s only right that I did something on Configuring DCHPv4 on a Juniper SRX.

This wont be a long or detailed post, as the configuration is very much the same as my previous post on how to configure DHCPv6 on a SRX, and I’ve went thought quite a lot before about how DHCP works etc.

First, under the system services dhcp-local-server stanza, you will need to create group and set a physical or logical interface that will have DHCP enabled

marquk01@v6-testing# show system services dhcp-local-server    
group dhcpv4-group {
    interface vlan.3407;
}

Next, under the access address-assignment stanza, you will need to set the network, the DHCP range and set the IP address that the router will be using within the DCHP pool. The propagate-settings will take configuration from the client DHCP on vlan.3407, if not otherwise specified, most importantly name-server which changes from ISP to ISP and is very important otherwise name resolutions on the LAN won’t work.

marquk01@fe-rtr0-c432-09# show access   
address-assignment {
    pool v4 {
        family inet {
            network 172.31.106.16/29;
            range v4-range {
                low 172.31.106.18;
                high 172.31.106.22;
            }
            dhcp-attributes {
                router {
                    172.31.106.17;
                }
                propagate-settings vlan.3407;
            }
        }
    }
}

This will be all configuration needed to have DHCPv4 on Juniper SRX220. For troubleshooting DHCP you will be able to use the commands below:

marquk01@v6-testing> show dhcp ? 
Possible completions:
  client               Show DHCP client information
  relay                Show DHCP relay information
  server               Show DHCP server information
  snooping             Show DHCP snooping information
  statistics           Show DHCP service statistics

As I said, this is the quick post :p

I have included the set commands used in my example below:

set system services dhcp-local-server group dhcpv4-group interface vlan.3407
set access address-assignment pool v4 family inet network 172.31.106.16/29
set access address-assignment pool v4 family inet range v4-range low 172.31.106.18
set access address-assignment pool v4 family inet range v4-range high 172.31.106.22
set access address-assignment pool v4 family inet dhcp-attributes router 172.31.106.17
set access address-assignment pool v4 family inet dhcp-attributes propagate-settings vlan.3407
