Managing DHCP

vShield Edge provides DHCP service to bind assigned IP addresses to MAC addresses, preventing MAC
spoofing attacks. All virtual machines protected by a vShield Edge can obtain IP addresses dynamically from
the vShield Edge DHCP service.
vShield Edge supports IP address pooling and one-to-one static IP address allocation based on the vCenter
managed object ID (vmid) and interface ID (interfaceId) of the requesting client.
vShield Edge DHCP service adheres to the following rules:

Listens on the vShield Edge internal interface (InternalInterface) for DHCP discovery.

Uses the IP address of the internal interface on the vShield Edge as the default gateway address for all
clients, and the broadcast and subnetMask values of the internal interface for the container network.
All DHCP settings configured by using REST requests appear under the vShield Edge > DHCP tab for the
appropriate vShield Edge in the vShield Manager user interface and vSphere Client plug-in.
