See [main README](../README.md) for details. + +Description +----------- + +This script adds (and updates & removes) dns records based on dhcp server +leases. An A record based on mac address is created for all bound lease, +additionally a CNAME record is created from host name if available. + +Requirements and installation +----------------------------- + +Just install the script: + + $ScriptInstallUpdate dhcp-to-dns; + +Then run it from dhcp server as lease script. You may want to use +[lease-script](lease-script.md). + +A scheduler cares about cleanup: + + /system/scheduler/add interval=15m name=dhcp-to-dns on-event="/system/script/run dhcp-to-dns;" start-time=startup; + +Configuration +------------- + +On first run a disabled static dns record acting as marker (with comment +"`--- dhcp-to-dns above ---`") is added. Move this entry to define where new +entries are to be added. + +The configuration goes to dhcp server's network definition. The domain is +used to form the dns name: + + /ip/dhcp-server/network/add address=10.0.0.0/24 domain=example.com; + +A bound lease for mac address `00:11:22:33:44:55` with ip address +`10.0.0.50` would result in an A record `00-11-22-33-44-55.example.com` +pointing to the given ip address. + +Additional options can be given from comment, to add an extra level in +dns name or define a different domain. + + /ip/dhcp-server/network/add address=10.0.0.0/24 domain=example.com comment="domain=another-domain.com, name-extra=dhcp"; + +This example would result in name `00-11-22-33-44-55.dhcp.another-domain.com` +for the same lease. + +If no domain is found in dhcp server's network definition a fallback from +`global-config-overlay` is used. This is the parameter: + +* `Domain`: the domain used for dns records + +> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from +> [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to +> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs. + +### Host name from DHCP lease comment + +Overwriting the host name from dhcp lease comment is supported, just add +something like `hostname=new-hostname` in comment, and separate it by comma +from other information if required: + + /ip/dhcp-server/lease/add address=10.0.0.50 comment="my device, hostname=new-hostname" mac-address=00:11:22:33:44:55 server=dhcp; + +Note this information can be configured in wireless access list with +[dhcp-lease-comment](dhcp-lease-comment.md), though it comes with a delay +then due to script execution order. Decrease the scheduler interval to +reduce the effect. + +See also +-------- + +* [Collect MAC addresses in wireless access list](collect-wireless-mac.md) +* [Comment DHCP leases with info from access list](dhcp-lease-comment.md) +* [Create DNS records for IPSec peers](ipsec-to-dns.md) +* [Run other scripts on DHCP lease](lease-script.md) + +--- +[⬅️ Go back to main README](../README.md) +[⬆️ Go back to top](#top) |
