dhcpdb2conf(1M)
NAME
dhcpdb2conf - convert DHCP client database to config file parameters
SYNOPSIS
dhcpdb2conf
[-pac] [-hdirnt] [-s index] [lan-interfaces]
DESCRIPTION
The
dhcpdb2conf
dhcpclient(1M)) into a set of standard configuration file parameters. This is an essential step for
configuring a DHCP client system, and is invoked by auto_parms(1M) upon every reboot when DHCP is
active.
A DHCP client database can contain settings for such items as: hostname, IP address, and default gateway
(a subset of the "initial identity parameters" managed by set_parms (1M) and geocustoms (1M)). You can list
the contents of the database to the screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute direct edits
on existing configuration files using the values contained in the client database.
Arguments: You can provide a list of lan-interfaces on which to operate, such as "lan0 lan1". If you specify
no LAN interfaces,
dhcpdb2conf
entries are each defined as a unique LAN interface and a corresponding list of attributes.
Options
The following options determine the results of DHCP parameter processing.
Print results to the screen (standard output). This is the default action if neither

specified.
Apply directly: Using the results of the specified filters (see below), directly apply the parame-

being processed is applied to the newly created staging file rather than the real configuration
file.
The following "filter" options control which parameters are processed. The options can be combined in any
manner. The default with no options is to process all attributes for each LAN interface.
