[FEATURE REQUEST] fmDHCP different configuration per server #448

Open fruza opened 5 years ago

fruza commented 5 years ago

fM Version : 3.4.2 fmDHCP Version : 0.4.2

Hi!, just a question regarding an architecture we would like to setup with a fmDHCP and we don't know if its possible.

We would like to setup 3 differents DHCP in failover setup, I mean 6 DHCP servers in 3 couples. Each couple with its differents subnets, pools, etc. Can I group a couples of servers with its subnets and pools in the same fmDHCP module?. I've trying this setup in my test environment and I think, for the moment, is not possible. Could be possible in the future?.

I think, one thing we could do is to setup 3 different facilemanager, one for each failover setup, right?.

Thanks for any reply.

Regards, Fernando.

@fruza - Yes, that is correct that in v0.4.2 it is currently not possible to put separate configurations on multiple dhcp servers. That support is still to come and will definitely be available before v1.0 is released. Your idea of separate fM servers will accomplish what you need in the meantime.

I'll convert this question into a feature request.

I have the same issue with two couples of servers.

As we can't specify servers or groups of serveurs for subnets definitions, the subnets are configured in all the servers. As I don't mind to have all the subnet in all servers I don't need full separation, but the peers definitions exists only the servers concerned by the failover. So the service don't start because the subnet definition reference a non existent failover peer.

I think it would be possible to have a workaround by ignoring zones with failover on a server which is out of the failover without implementing a complete separation.
