DHCP on Ethernet VLAN interface

esast
Is there any way to enable DHCP client on a "Ethernet VLAN" interface?

I'm currently running Astaro in VMWare ESXi and have set up virtual NICs for each VLAN in VMWare. I can then add these NICs as "Cable (DHCP)" and each one will get its IP from DHCP.

However, I'd like to move the firewall to a dedicated box and this would require Astaro to do the VLAN handling through the use of several "Ethernet VLAN" interfaces. However these require that I enter an IP and do not seem to support DHCP.

Are there any workaround for this?

    Hi,
    I think the bit you have missed is that you are running in bridged mode where your addresses are provided from another source external to the ASG eg your ISP. Bridge mode is sometimes used where you have a range of real (routable) addresses provided to you and you want these addresses to on your internal devices.

    To use VLANs and DHCP you have to put the ASG into non bridged mode.

    Whity, you are correct, I missed the client reference.
