NetBox DHCP

The NetBox DHCP plugin enables NetBox to manage operational DHCP data such as servers, shared networks, subnets, pools, options and host reservations. It serves as a "source of truth" for DHCP servers, such as Kea DHCP, providing data for network automation tools that can be used to configure the DHCP infrastructure.

This works in much the same way in which NetBox provides configuration data for automatic configuration of network components, or NetBox DNS provides the input necessary to configure DNS infrastructure and zone data.

Known Issues

  • There is an issue that sometimes causes a lock conflict while running the test suite. The symptom is that the tests stop at some point and the ./manage.py test netbox_dhcp command never returns. The issue does not seem to affect normal operation, just the tests. The specific tests have been disabled for the time being until the issue is resolved.
  • Documentation is still missing.

These issues will be addressed in upcoming Beta releases.
