Working With DHCP in Oracle^® Solaris 11.3

How to Modify the Configuration of the DHCP Service

1. Assume an appropriate role.

   Assume a role that can grant the DHCP Management profile to users. If the DHCP Management profile has not been assigned to a user, 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. For more information about the DHCP Management profile, see How to Grant User Access to DHCP Commands.

2. Edit the DHCP configuration file.

   • IPv4: /etc/inet/dhcpd4.conf

   • IPv6: /etc/inet/dhcpd6.conf

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

3. Restart the SMF service.

   # svcadm restart 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
