While trying to slim down pfSense duties, I tried setting up my ICX6610 as the DHCP server on each of the VLANs. This worked only partially. Reading through the giant thread, I found out that the ICX DHCP server is not authoritative so some IoT devices (pretty much all of my wireless devices that's not my laptop) refuse to accept the DHCP lease.
I'm trying to set up a DHCP server. I have installed dnsmasq on a VM. I'm not certain that this scenario is possible, so please tell me if it is or isn't and how to go about it, if it is.
I have the following setup:
pfSense as WAN firewall and DNS resolver only, ICX6610 as gateway for all VLANs. All traffic transported to pfSense via VLAN 999, 10.199.199.1/30 (ICX) <--> 10.199.199.2/30 (pfsense).
The dnsmasq server (10.1.1.100/24) is on my Management VLAN 5.
Two parts I'm not sure about:
1) Can I have the single VM give out IPs to several VLANs via the switch? How do I set it up on the switch?
2) Can the dnsmasq server serve DNS to pfsense, which acts as the primary resolver for the network? I.e. tell pfsense to look up mydomain.com to the dnsmasq server? Again, if so, how?
