DHCP servers require Micetro Agents and need to be added using their fully qualified names, such as dns1.europe.ad.mmdemo.local.

Servers in Microsoft Active Directory environments can be added without installing an agent. Refer to Agent-free management of DNS/DHCP servers.

Note: ISC DHCP servers require a DHCP agent to be installed on each DHCP server. Kea servers require only one DHCP agent to be installed in the system, either on the machine running Kea, or on a machine that can connect to the Kea Control Agent through the network.

The following table demonstrates the different options when adding a DHCP server.

Server type Description
Microsoft Agent-Free 1 (Use proxy not checked) The DHCP Agent has been installed on the machine running Micetro Central and that machine will be used as a proxy. Micetro is not able to track lease history data.
Microsoft Agent-Free 1 (Use proxy checked) The DHCP Agent has been installed on the machine identified in the Use proxy server field and that machine will be used as a proxy. Micetro is not able to track lease history data.
Microsoft with Agent Installed The DHCP Agent has been installed on the remote DHCP server. Micetro is able to track lease history data.
ISC DHCP Either a Unix server running the ISC DHCPD or a Micetro Appliance with the mm-dhcpd package installed.
ISC Kea Agent (Agent-free) 1 A server running ISC Kea with the Kea Control Agent installed and accessible to the DHCP.
ISC Kea 2 A server running ISC Kea with a DHCP Agent and Control Agent installed.
Cisco (Use proxy not checked) The DHCP Agent has been installed on the machine running Micetro Central and that machine will be used as a proxy.
Cisco (Use proxy checked) The DHCP Agent has been installed on the machine identified in the Use proxy server field, and that machine will be used as a proxy.

1 Refer to Agent-free management of DNS/DHCP servers.

2 Alternatively, you can configure a socket for communication in kea-dhcp4.conf.

Important: To add Kea servers to Micetro, they need to be configured with the libdhcp_lease_cmds.so library. Refer to Adding a Kea DHCP server to Micetro for details.

Services are managed on the Service management tab of the Admin page. To add a new service, select Add service in the task bar. For more information and instructions, refer to Adding a service in the Micetro Admin Guide.
