Network Topology
Rough outline of permanent connections:
EdgeRouter X Configuration
- configured
DNSMasq
to provide DHCP & DNS- local DNS will also have DHCP clients
- due to windows limitations (can’t have multiple connections to the same fileserver with different credentials from one user… but can set up DNS/IP aliases to the same server and connect via the aliases) created multiple static IP maps to the NAS
- can configure static DHCP range, static DHCP mappings, DHCP lease domain, and system domain via GUI
- enabling DNSMasq for DHCP and static DNS mappings require using the CLI
Process outline
> configure
> set service dhcp-server use-dnsmasq enable
> set system name-server 127.0.0.1
# static DNS mappings
# Note- this isn't using the static DHCP mapping. So if you change the mapping for DHCP, you also need to manually update this DNS mapping
> set system static-host-mapping host-name <host> inet <ip>
> set system static-host-mapping host-name <host> alias <alias name>
... add more aliases ...
> set service dns forwarding options expand-hosts
> commit
> save
>exit
# Some useful diagnostic commands:
> show service dns
> show service dhcpd
# Don't forget tab completion - gives help!
