This section includes procedures to help you configure and unconfigure a DHCP server or a BOOTP relay agent by using dhcpconfig with command-line options.
Make sure that you have read Chapter 12, Planning for DHCP Service (Tasks) before you configure your DHCP server. In particular, you should use the guidelines in Making Decisions for Your DHCP Server Configuration (Task Map) to help you perform the following tasks:
Select the system that you want to use as a DHCP server.
Make decisions about your data store, lease policy, and router information.
#/usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -D -r datastore -p location
datastore is one of the following: SUNWfiles, or SUNWbinfiles.
location is the data-store-dependent location where you want to store the DHCP data. For SUNWfiles and SUNWbinfiles, the location must be an absolute path name.
For example, you might type a command similar to the following:
dhcpconfig -D -r SUNWbinfiles -p /var/dhcp
The dhcpconfig utility uses the host's system files and network files to determine values used to configure the DHCP server. See the dhcpconfig(1M) man page for information about additional options to the dhcpconfig command that enable you to override the default values.
See How to Add a DHCP Network (dhcpconfig) for the procedure to add a network.
Select the system that you want to use as a BOOTP relay agent, using the requirements listed in Selecting a Host to Run the DHCP Service.
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -R server-addresses
Specify one or more IP addresses of DHCP servers to which you want requests to be forwarded. If you specify more than one address, separate the addresses with commas.
For example, you might type a command similar to the following:
/usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -R 192.168.1.18,192.168.42.132
# /usr/sbin/dhcpconfig -U
If the server does not use shared data, you can also use the -x option to remove the dhcptab and network tables. If the server uses shared data, do not use the -x option. The -h option can be used to remove host names from the host table. See the dhcpconfig(1M) man page for more information about dhcpconfig options.
See DHCP Data on an Unconfigured Server for more information about removing data.
