Summary

Can DHCP be configured on a satellite server residing outside the DHCP subnet?

Question

Opsware/SA appears to be complaining that there are no subnet declarations for the subnet that the satellite itself is on. Is it possible to set up DHCP on a SA satellite server for a subnet that the satellite does not belong to?

Answer

It is possible to define the same DHCP range on the Satellite Server for both Discovered and Provisioned systems, but it is recommended to use a separate range for each service but still within the same subnet.
