## SECTION=networking menuconfig DHCP tristate prompt "dhcp " help This is the DHCP server from version 3 of the Internet Software Consortium DHCP package. For more information visit the ISC web site at http://www.isc.org/. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of BOOTPD!). It assigns IP addresses to clients based on lease times. Multiple Ethernet Interfaces are supported by this DHCP package. if DHCP config DHCP_SERVER bool prompt "DHCP Server dhcpd" help This is the main component of the DHCP server, the daemon process that allows a server to provide a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol service to a network. It takes its configuration from /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and tracks issued addresses as records in the dhcpd.leases file. config DHCP_DHCPD_CONF bool "Install /etc/dhcpd.conf" depends on DHCP_SERVER default y help Installs (if present) the "./projectroot/etc/dhcpd.conf" file from your workspace, otherwise a generic one from the ptxdist installation ("/projectroot/etc/dhcpd.conf"). config DHCP_CLIENT bool prompt "DHCP Client dhclient" help This is a client process to provide the system it runs on with an IP address. It also handles a lease refresh if it expires. if DHCP_CLIENT config DHCP_DHCLIENT_CONF bool "Install /etc/dhclient.conf" default y help Installs (if present) the "./projectroot/etc/dhclient.conf" file from your workspace, otherwise a generic one from the ptxdist installation ("/projectroot/etc/dhclient.conf"). config DHCP_DHCLIENT_SCRIPT bool "Install /etc/dhclient-script" depends on DHCP_DHCLIENT_CONF help Installs (if present) the "./projectroot/etc/dhclient-script" file from your workspace, otherwise a generic one from the ptxdist installation ("/projectroot/etc/dhclient-script"). endif config DHCP_RELAY bool prompt "DHCP Relay dhcrelay" help The Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Relay Agent, dhcrelay, provides a means for relaying DHCP and BOOTP requests from a subnet to which no DHCP server is directly connected to one or more DHCP servers on other subnets. The DHCP Relay Agent listens for DHCP and BOOTP queries and responses. When a query is received from a client, dhcrelay forwards it to the list of DHCP servers specified on the command line. When a reply is received from a server, it is broadcast or unicast (according to the relay agent's ability or the client's request) on the network from which the original request came. endif
