- <H2>Setting up your DHCP Server</H2>
- <P>
- The DHCP server program, <VAR>dhcp_bootp</VAR>, supports the DHCP
- service on a server. If the DHCP server is turned on,
- <VAR>dhcp_bootp</VAR> starts automatically when the server is started.
- At startup, <VAR>dhcp_bootp</VAR> reads its operating parameters from
- the <VAR>/etc/config/dhcp_bootp.options</VAR> file. These parameters
- specify the hosts databases that DHCP must update with new hostnames
- and addresses, the system file for the new host, and the directory that
- contains client configuration files.
- </P>
- <P>
- Use the DHCP Server Setup form to set <VAR>dhcp_bootp</VAR> startup
- parameters:
- </P>
- <P>
- <STRONG>Enable DHCP server:</STRONG> This selection controls whether this
- system will act as a DHCP server. Select <EM>Yes</EM> to turn on DHCP
- service and <EM>No</EM> to turn off DHCP service.
- </P>
- (Default value: No)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Filename for translating IP addresses to hostnames:</STRONG>
- This file is the source of hostname and address information for your
- DHCP server. When the DHCP server assigns a new system an address,
- it enters the address in this file so that the address is not
- reassigned. To make the new system known to other systems, this file
- must be copied to them or distributed by NIS.
- </P>
- <P>
- The default hosts database is the local <VAR>/etc/hosts</VAR> file.
- If you are running NIS or DNS, their hostname and address databases
- may be built from an alternative file.
- </P>
- (Default value: local /etc/hosts)
- <P>
- <STRONG>File name for translating Ethernet address to
- hostnames:</STRONG> This file is the source of information for
- translating Ethernet hardware addresses to hostnames. When the DHCP
- server receives a request from a client, the request contains the client's
- Ethernet address. The DHCP server uses this address to determine what
- information should be sent to the client.
- </P>
- <P>
- The default Ethernet address translation file is the local <VAR>/etc/ethers</VAR>
- file. If you are using the NIS name service, its database may be built from an
- alternative file.
- </P>
- (Default value: local /etc/ethers)
