Global Scope properties

Global Properties

Unlike other DHCP servers, DaAPi has a unique way to select properties recognized in all scopes. The "DaAPI way" is based on the concept of scope hierarchy. As a quick reminder: DaAPI allows Scopes to be organized in a tree. Scopes can have parents and children. Properties from parents are inherited by child Scopes.

This ability allows creating a single root scope with all the wished "global" properties. The pseudo resolver is used so that this scope is always a match. As long as all other scopes are direct children or descendants of this single root Scope, all properties are used in the child Scope.

More than one hierarchy

This approach is maybe a bit more complicated than just being able to set global properties. However, it is far more flexible. Based on your resolver strategy and network topology, you could have multiple "global" root Scopes. One, for instance, one for private customers and another for business clients.
