DHCPv3 and New DHCP Tab Updates
The DHCP Tab has been updated to support DHCP Groups, an improved interface, and improved backend functionality. Three new DHCP areas have been added – DHCP Groups, DHCP Servers, and DHCP Pool List.
DHCP Groups
The DHCP Groups page allows you to group DHCP Pools the same way ProVision allows zones under DNS Groups.
DHCP Servers
The DHCP Servers page shows a list of DHCP servers, created via the “Add Server” button. Supported server types are ISC BIND or Cisco Prime Network Registrar. During server creation, you may select to attach it to a DHCP group, or leave it unattached.
DHCP Pools
The DHCP Pools list provides the same pool-level functionality as the DHCP Groups pool lists, but includes all pools regardless of Group attachment.
Peering v2 and New Peering Tab Updates
We’ve updated the Peering tab to support Peering v2, including new peering pages, improved UI, and direct data connections to Peering DB. Additionally, ASN validation and handling has been improved, and users now need to specify a PeeringDB account (set in Admin-> Peering settings) to connect with PeeringDB information.
The peering interface has been updated with new subtabs: IXs (Exchanges), Routers, Sessions, and Peers.
