DHCP Server

claudio testa — Wed, 02 Mar 2005 08:42:55 GMT

My problem is similar the following question.
I must install a dhcp server in to system with HP-UX 11.11. The DHCP Sever must work so: when recieved a request, before to lease a IP address it must do a query in to DataBase: then, the DHCP Sever, can lease a IP address only if the query is OK. Is it possible?

Each idea or suggestion is good.... ;-)

Thanks in advance

Well bootpd will solve your DHCP requests, but using a database like Oracle/mysql/informix/... won't work. You are restricted to the files available to manage DHCP. I guess you could write your own DHCP process.

man bootp
man dhcptools
man bootpquery

Assuming that you are technically adept, you can get dhcpd to do almost anything. You can download the source code from www.isc.org (These are the guys who invented it) and then modify it as you wish. Dhcpd maintains its own database but if you want to do queries against a commercial database then you have a lot of work to do.

I always download the source frrom these guys and compile/link my own.

Hi,

The easiest way to setup bootp or dhcp is by using SAM.
