You may find this useful when using internal or host-only networking. Theoretically, you can also enable it for a bridged network, but that may cause conflicts with other DHCP servers in your physical network. The subcommands of dhcpserver all operate on an internal network that can be identified via its name or in the host-only case via the host-only interface name: --network=netname The internal network name. This is the same as you would use as value to the VBoxManage modifyvm --intnet option when configuring a VM for internal networking. Or you see as VBoxNetworkName in the output from VBoxManage list intnets, VBoxManage list natnets, or VBoxManage list hostonlyifs. --interface=ifname The host only interface name. This would be same value as you would use for the VBoxManage modifyvm --hostonlyadapter option when configuring a VM to use a host-only network. The value can also be found in the Name row in VBoxManage list hostonlyifs. Adds a new DHCP server to a network or host-only interface. Options configuring the DHCP server core: --server-ip=address The IP address the DHCP server should use. --lower-ip=address, --upper-ip=address The IP address range for the DHCP server to manage. This should not include the address of the DHCP server itself, but it must be in the same network as it. The boundraries are inclusive, so both the lower and upper addresses will be handed out to clients. --netmask=mask The network mask. Typically 255.255.255.0. --enable, --disable Whether to enable the DHCP server or disable it. If not specified, the server will be created in disabled state and no IP addresses handed out. Options selecting the scope: --global Set the configuration scope to global. Any subsequent --set-opt options will be apply to all the DHCP clients. --vm=vmname|uuid Set the configuration scope to the first NIC of the specified VM. Any subsequent --set-opt options will apply just to that interface, nothing else. --nic=1-N Set the configuration scope to a NIC other than first of the VM specified the in --vm. --mac-address=address Set the configuration scope to the specified MAC address. --group=name Set the configuration scope to the specified group. Options configuring the currently selected scope: --set-opt=dhcp-opt-no value Adds the specified DHCP option number (0-255) and value. The value format is option specific (typically human readable) and will be validated by the API and the DHCP server. --set-opt-hex=dhcp-opt-no hexstring Adds the specified DHCP option number (0-255) and value. The option value is specified as a raw series of hex bytes, optionally separated by colons. No validation is performed on these by the API or the DHCP server, they will be pass as specified to the client. --force-opt=dhcp-opt-no Forces the specified DHCP option number (0-255) onto to be sent to the client whether it requested it or not (provided the option is configured with a value at some level). --suppress-opt=dhcp-opt-no Prevents the specified DHCP option number (0-255) from being sent to the client when present in this or a high configuration scope. --min-lease-time=seconds Sets the minimum lease time for the current scope in seconds. Zero means taking the value from a higher option level or use default. --default-lease-time=seconds Sets the default lease time for the current scope in seconds. Zero means taking the value from a higher option level or use default. --max-lease-time=seconds Sets the maximum lease time for the current scope in seconds. Zero means taking the value from a higher option level or use default. --fixed-address=address Fixed address assignment for a --vm or --mac-address configuration scope. Any empty address turns it back to dynamic address assignment. Options configuring group membership conditions (excludes overrides includes): --incl-mac=address Include the specific MAC address in the group. --excl-mac=address Exclude the specific MAC address from the group. --incl-mac-wild=pattern Include the specific MAC address pattern in the group. --excl-mac-wild=pattern Exclude the specific MAC address pattern from the group. --incl-vendor=string Include the specific vendor class ID in the group. --excl-vendor=string Exclude the specific vendor class ID from the group. --incl-vendor-wild=pattern Include the specific vendor class ID pattern in the group. --excl-vendor-wild=pattern Exclude the specific vendor class ID pattern from the group. --incl-user=string Include the specific user class ID in the group. --excl-user=string Exclude the specific user class ID from the group. --incl-user-wild=pattern Include the specific user class ID pattern in the group. --excl-user-wild=pattern Exclude the specific user class ID pattern from the group. This modifies an existing DHCP server configuration. It takes the same options as the add command with the addition of the following on scope configuration: --del-opt=dhcp-opt-no Counterpart to --set-opt that will cause the specified DHCP option number (0-255) to be deleted from the server settings. Like with --set-opt the scope of the deletion is governed by the --global, --vm, --mac-address and --group options. --unforce-opt=dhcp-opt-no Removes the specified DHCP option number (0-255) from the forced option list (i.e. the reverse of --force-opt). Like with --set-opt the scope of the deletion is governed by the --global, --vm, --mac-address and --group options. --unsuppress-opt=dhcp-opt-no Removes the specified DHCP option number (0-255) from the supressed option list (i.e. the reverse of --suppress-opt). Like with --set-opt the scope of the deletion is governed by the --global, --vm, --mac-address and --group options. --remove-config Removes the configuration currently being scoped. The --global scope is not removable. The configuration scope will change to --global after this option. And the addition of these group membership condition options: --del-mac=address Delete the specific MAC address from the group conditions. --del-mac-wild=pattern Delete the specific MAC address pattern from the group conditions. --del-vendor=string Delete the specific vendor class ID from the group conditions. --del-vendor-wild=pattern Delete the specific vendor class ID pattern from the group conditions. --del-user=string Delete the specific user class ID pattern from the group conditions. --del-user-wild=pattern Delete the specific user class ID pattern from the group conditions. --zap-conditions Deletes all the group conditions. Removes the specified DHCP server. Restarts the specified DHCP server. The DHCP server must be running. Performs a lease database lookup. This is mainly for getting the IP address of a running VM. --mac-address=mac The MAC address to lookup in the lease database.
