Fast, multithreaded, modular and extensible DHCP server written in Go
This is still a work-in-progress
In CoreDHCP almost everything is implemented as a plugin. The order of plugins in the configuration matters: every request is evaluated calling each plugin in order, until one breaks the evaluation and responds to, or drops, the request.
The following configuration runs a DHCPv6-only server, listening on all the interfaces, using a custom DUID-LL as server ID, and reading the leases from a text file.
server6:
listen: '[::]:547'
plugins:
- server_id: LL 00:de:ad:be:ef:00
- file: "leases.txt"
# - dns: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844
#server4:
# listen: '127.0.0.1:67'
See also config.yml.example.
Once you have a working configuration in config.yml, you can build and run the server:
$ go build
$ sudo ./coredhcp

Then try it with the local test client:
$ cd client
$ go build
$ sudo ./client
