6 6 dhcp - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
7 7
8 8 DESCRIPTION
9 9 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) enables host systems in a
10 10 TCP/IP network to be configured automatically for the network as they
11 11 boot. DHCP uses a client/server mechanism: servers store configuration
12 12 information for clients, and provide that information upon a client's
13 13 request. The information can include the client's IP address and
14 14 information about network services available to the client.
15 15
16 16 This manual page provides a brief summary of the DHCP implementation.
17 17
18 18 DHCP Client
19 19 The DHCP client is implemented as background daemon, dhcpagent(1M).
20 20
21 21 For IPv4, this daemon is started automatically during bootup if there
22 22 exists at least one dhcp.interface file in /etc. Only interfaces with a
23 23 corresponding /etc/dhcp.interface file are automatically configured
24 24 during boot.
25 25
26 26 For IPv6, this daemon is started automatically when commanded by
27 27 in.ndpd (based on IPv6 Routing Advertisement messages). No
28 28 /etc/dhcp.interface file is necessary, but such a file can be used to
29 29 specify an interface as "primary," provided that IPv4 DHCP is also in
30 30 use.

32 32 Network parameters needed for system configuration during bootup are
33 33 extracted from the information received by the daemon through the use
34 34 of the dhcpinfo(1) command. The daemon's default behavior can be
35 35 altered by changing the tunables in the /etc/default/dhcpagent file.
36 36 The daemon is controlled by the ifconfig(1M) utility. Check the status
37 37 of the daemon using the netstat(1M) and ifconfig(1M) commands.
