Selecting a Server for DHCP

With your network topology in mind, you can use the following guidelines to select a host on which to set up a DHCP server.

The server must:

• Run the Solaris 2.6, Solaris 7, or Solaris 8 operating environment

• Be accessible to all the networks having clients that will use DHCP, either directly on the network or through a BOOTP relay agent

• Be configured to use routing

• Have a correctly configured netmasks table that reflects your network topology
