The ISC Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Distribution provides a freely
|
|
redistributable reference implementation of all aspects of the DHCP
|
|
protocol, through a suite of DHCP tools:
|
|
|
|
- A DHCP server
|
|
- A DHCP client
|
|
- A DHCP relay agent
|
|
|
|
These tools all use a modular API which is designed to be sufficiently
|
|
general that it can easily be made to work on POSIX-compliant operating
|
|
systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and MacOS.
|
|
|
|
The DHCP server, client and relay agent are provided both as reference
|
|
implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured sample
|
|
implementations. Both the client and the server provide functionality
|
|
that, while not strictly required by the protocol, is very useful in
|
|
practice. The DHCP server also makes allowances for non-compliant clients
|
|
which one might still like to support.
