Unconfiguring DHCP Servers and BOOTP Relay Agents Using dhcpconfig

Unconfiguring a DHCP server stops the server process and prevents it from starting automatically when the system reboots. It also removes the /etc/default/dhcp file, which records information about the data store location and server startup options. When you unconfigure a DHCP server you must decide what to do with the DHCP data files: dhcptab and the DHCP network tables. If the data is shared among servers, you should not remove the dhcptab and DHCP network tables because this could render DHCP unusable across your network. Data can be shared through NIS+ or on exported local file systems. You can unconfigure a DHCP server while leaving the data intact by declining to remove the tables when prompted to do so.
