[Sunhelp] Enabling DHCP?

[Robert Brady]

The DHCP server is included in SunOS 5.6.  I believe that the question was how 
to enable the SPARC to use the dorms DHCP server.  If that is correct, take a 
look at ifconfig(1M).  The last two examples under SYNOPSIS cover the use of 
DHCP.  A basic config would be `ifconfig le0 dhcp start`.  This will configure 
the interface until it is stopped or the system is rebooted.  If you want to 
configure DHCP to acquire an address each time the system is booted, that's a 
bit more complex.  Take a look at info doc 16207 named "How to setup a DHCP 
client" on http://sunsolve.sun.com/  it goes through the steps in great detail.


Hope this helps.

As I know, DHCP server included in Solaris 2.6 has a bug. However,
the patch is available for contracted user.
