Creating DHCP Server w/ 6 Networks

    Not suggesting this is or if it is an OMV issue but curious how you would implement such a thing.

    Currently running my 6 DHCP Servers via Cisco Nexus guest-shell, works fine, but that MF is loud as hell and generates gnarly heat.

    So I was thinking be it on OMV Server or create a VM, anyone have any insight on how?

    To my knowledge you won't do it with OMV directly, but you should be able to do something using a VM and something like OPNsense or pfsense. You many need a enough physical NIC ports to feed the 6 networks though as you can only have one DHCP server on a network and probably need a physical NIC port assigned to each LAN/VLAN you create

    I was assuming that on the 1 NIC I would be using, I would enable that one to "listen" to DHCP requests and then on my Cisco Switch w/ 6 vlans I would use a dhcp-relay address of the IP of the NIC On the VM hosting the DHCP Servers, and inside dhcpd.conf, I could state 6 subnets.


    Who knows, maybe my simple explanation would be too easy for them to implement.

    You may be able to do it on one NIC with subnets, but with VLAN's there is usually a port assignment required from my unserstanding. All I can really say is try it. It costs you nothing to run up a VM and install OPNsense.
