How to Enable and Disable DHCP Transaction Logging for Current Session (Command Line)

1. Become superuser on the DHCP server system.

2. Type the following commands:

   # /etc/init.d/dhcp stop # /usr/lib/inet/in.dhcpd -l syslog-local-facility

   where syslog-local-facility is a number from 0 through 7. If you omit this option, 0 is used by default. See "How to Enable and Disable DHCP Transaction Logging (DHCP Manager)".

   Note -

   To disable transaction logging, omit the -l option when starting in.dhcpd.

   ---

   By default, DHCP transactions are logged to the location where system notices are logged, which depends on how syslogd is configured. If you want the DHCP transactions to be logged to a file separate from other system notices, see "How to Log DHCP Transactions to a Separate Syslog File".

   Message files can quickly become very large when transaction logging is enabled.
