After defining and creating the necessary configurations in Address Manager such as creating the Kerberos realm, KDC(s) and DHCP service principal, you must associate the principal with a managed DHCP Server for deployment.

  • If you already have a DHCP Server under Address Manager control, edit the DHCP Server properties as described below.
  • If you haven't yet added a DHCP Server to Address Manager, you can associate the service principal when adding the server.

To associate the service principal with a DHCP Server:

  1. From the configuration drop-down menu, select a configuration.
  2. Select the Servers tab. Tabs remember the page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the Configuration information page.
  3. Under Servers, click the name of a DHCP Server.
  4. Click the server name menu and select Edit.
  5. Under Kerberos Service Principal, select the Enable DHCP Service Principal check box to associate the service principal. When configuring GSS-TSIG, if the Enable DHCP Service Principal check box isn't selected, DHCP service may become unavailable.
  6. From the Realm and Principal drop-down menus, select the realm and principal defined in the Kerberos configuration..
  7. Click Update.
This completes all the necessary steps in Address Manager.
Now, you need to deploy the configuration to the managed DHCP server. For GSS-TSIG configuration, select only DHCP under Services. For details on how to deploy the configuration data, refer to Performing full deployment.
