DHCP is based on BOOTP and maintains some backward compatibility.
Novell DHCP servers can be configured to respond to requests from BOOTP
clients.
Novell DNS/DHCP Services provides the following DHCP features:
All DHCP configuration is done in eDirectory, facilitating enterprise-
wide management.
DHCP options can be set at three levels:
Enterprise level
Subnet level
Specific client level
The configuration utility has import/export functions that support the
following:
Populating eDirectory from an existing Novell DHCP Server 2.0
DHCPTAB file or from a BOOTPTAB file (for Novell BOOTP)
Saving configuration information out of eDirectory
You can configure the level of SNMP event trap generation using the
DNS/DHCP Management Utility for all events, major events only, or no
events.
Client assignment policy options (to support mobile clients that move
around the network) include:
Allow Duplicate
Delete Duplicate
No Duplicate
You can use the DNS/DHCP Management Utility to maintain a hardware
exclusion list to deny service to unwanted devices by their MAC
addresses.
The DHCP software updates eDirectory to record all address assignments
to LAN clients.
You can use Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to update DNS with information
about addresses assigned and rescinded.
The DHCP software enables the server to cache addresses and other
configuration information from eDirectory for quick response.
