When configuring a DHCP server on the NSX ESG, it is important to note the following parameters:

  • DHCP discovery messages are only listened to on internal interfaces and not on uplink interfaces
  • Static IP address bindings should not overlap any pools you have already created
  • Static bindings can use either VM NIC binding for virtual machines that reside in vCenter or MAC binding
  • The Host Name field for all static bindings should conform to the following standards:
    • Valid local hostname (label) contains only ASCII alphabet, numbers, and hyphens, with length at most 63
    • Valid FQDN hostname has labels concatenated with dots, with each label length at most 63 and total FQDN length at most 253
