DHCP servers require :ref:`install-controllers` and need to be added using their fully qualified names (such as dns1.europe.ad.mmdemo.local).
Note
Servers in Microsoft Active Directory environments can be added without installing an agent. See :ref:`agent-free-dns-dhcp`.
Note
ISC DHCP servers require a DHCP agent to be installed on each DHCP server. Kea servers require only one DHCP agent installed in the system, either on the machine running Kea, or a machine that can connect to the :ref:`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 Server Controller has been installed on the machine running the Men&Mice Central Component 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 Server Controller 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 Server Controller 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 Server Controller. (Agent-free) [1] | A server running ISC Kea with the :ref:`kea-control-agent` installed and accessible for 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 the Men&Mice 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] | See :ref:`agent-free-dns-dhcp`. |
| [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. See :ref:`add-kea-hooks` for details.
Services are managed on the Admin page in the :guilabel:`Service Management` section. There you select :guilabel:`Add Service` to add a new server.
For further details, see :ref:`adding-service` in the Admin Guide.
