DHCP Configuration Files

The configuration files store the network information for the DHCP clients. There are two main DHCP
configuration files that can be used to configure the DHCP server on OmniSwitch. They are:
•
dhcpd(v6).conf
•
dhcpd(v6).conf.lastgood
The following sections provide detailed information on the dhcpd(v6).conf and dhcpd(v6).conf.lastgood
files.
dhcpd(v6).conf File
The dhcpd(v6).conf file is used to declare DHCP options and global options for the DHCP clients. The
dhcpd(v6).conf can be used to define the following:
•
IP subnets
•
Dynamic scopes and static bindings
•
Subnet masks, DNS and default routers, and lease times
•
User class or vendor class configurations
There are three types of statements in the configuration file:
•
Parameters: Declare how, when, or what to provide to a client.
•
Declarations: Describe the topology of the network and provide addresses for the clients. Parameters
can be listed under declarations that override the global parameters.
•
Comments: Provide a description for the parameters and declarations. Lines beginning with a hash
mark (#) are considered comments and they are optional.
