# Deploy a DHCP server in Azure on a virtual machine
1616

17-
In this how-to, learn how to deploy a highly available DHCP server in Azure on a virtual machine. This server is used as a target for an on-premises DHCP relay agent to provide dynamic IP address allocation to on-premises clients. Broadcast packets directly from clients to a DHCP Server don't work in an Azure Virtual Network by design.

In this article, you learned how to deploy a highly available DHCP server in Azure on a virtual machine. You also learned how to configure the network adapters and installed the DHCP role on the virtual machines. Further configuration of the DHCP server is required to provide DHCP services to on-premises clients from the Azure Virtual Machines. The DHCP relay agent on the on-premises network must be configured to forward DHCP requests to the DHCP servers in Azure. Consult the manufacturer's documentation for the DHCP relay agent for configuration steps.
