Providing DHCP Client Configuration Information
When the extended DHCP application receives a response from an external authentication
server, the response might include information in addition to the IP address and subnet
mask. The extended DHCP application uses the information from the authentication
grant for the response the DHCP application sends to the DHCP client. The DHCP
application can either send the information in its original form or the application might
merge the information with local configuration specifications. For example, if the
authentication grant includes an address pool name and a local configuration specifies
DHCP attributes for that pool (such as, DNS server address), the extended DHCP
application merges the authentication results and the attributes in the reply that the
server sends to the client.
A local configuration is optional — a client can be fully configured by the external
authentication service. However, if the external authentication service does not provide
client configuration, you might need to configure the local address-assignment pool to
provide the configuration information, such as DNS server, for the client. When a local
configuration specifies options, the extended DHCP application adds the local
configuration options to the offer PDU the server sends to the client. If the two sets of
options overlap, the options in the authentication response from the external service
take precedence.
When you use RADIUS to provide the authentication, the additional information might
be in the form of RADIUS attributes and Juniper Networks VSAs. Table 8 on page 25 lists
the information that RADIUS might include in the authentication grant. See RADIUS
Attributes and Juniper Networks VSAs Supported by the AAA Service Framework for a
complete list of RADIUS attributes and Juniper Networks VSAs that the extended DHCP
applications supports for subscriber access management or DHCP management.
