Working With DHCP in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Configure an ISC DHCP Server

You can use these steps to initially configure an ISC DHCP server.

1. Assume the root role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Creating a Role in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.

2. Edit the DHCP configuration files for the appropriate services.

   • IPv4: /etc/inet/dhcpd4.conf

   • IPv6: /etc/inet/dhcpd6.conf

   For more information, see the dhcpd.conf (7) man page.

3. Enable the required service.

   # svcadm enable service

   service can be one of the following values:

   svc:/network/dhcp/server:ipv4

   Provides DHCP and BOOTP requests from IPv4 clients

   svc:/network/dhcp/server:ipv6

   Provides DHCP and BOOTP requests from IPv6 clients

   svc:/network/dhcp/relay:ipv4

   Relays DHCP and BOOTP requests from IPv4 clients to a network with a DHCP server

   svc:/network/dhcp/relay:ipv6

   Relays DHCP and BOOTP requests from IPv6 clients to a network with a DHCP server
