Concepts
Scopes
A scope represents a single layer 2 network. Within a scope, Gravity assumes to be the main and only DHCP server, when not in listen-only mode.
The scope for any particular request is found in the following way:
- Checking if the DHCP Peer address is within any of the scopes CIDR, or
- Checking if the Address of the interface the request was received on is within any of the scopes CIDR, or
- Checking if the scope has the
default
flag set totrue
.
Afterwards, all matching scopes are sorted by the length of the scope’s CIDR Prefix, and the longest prefix match is chosen.
See Scopes.
Leases
A lease represents a single IP address assigned to a single MAC Address. A lease also includes a hostname.
