Solaris Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

This feature is new in the Software Express pilot program. This feature is included in the Solaris 10 3/05 release.

The Solaris Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service includes the DHCP Manager graphical tool and command-line tools. This Solaris release adds new options to the dhcpconfig and dhtadm commands.

With the new options for the dhcpconfig command, you can do the following:

• Enable and disable DHCP service for system starts

• Restart DHCP server

• Prompt DHCP server to read the dhcptab

• Specify DHCP server parameters

A new suboption for the dhtadm command causes the DHCP server to read the dhcptab to implement changes that were made with the dhtadm command.

The new options enable you to perform all DHCP management tasks from the command line as well as from DHCP Manager.

For more information, see the man pages for dhcpconfig(1M) and dhtadm(1M).
