SA DHCP Network Configuration Tools (dhcpdtool and dhcpd6tool)

The DHCP Network Configuration Tool is a menu-driven, terminal-based utility that enables you to customize the dhcpd.conf and dhcpd6.conf files for common network configurations. The tool prompts you for network information needed to configure DHCP for each SA Provisioning network.

Using the DHCP Network Configuration Tool simplifies configuration of the DHCP server and ensures that the DHCP configuration contains the options that are needed for SA Provisioning to function properly.

Additionally, in some environments, multiple IP networks (layer 3) are layered on top of a single VLAN (layer 2). While this configuration is supported by the ISC DHCP server, generally such a topology requires careful consideration to work properly with DHCP. Therefore, the DHCP Network Configuration Tool can only configure a single IP network per VLAN.

The man pages for the DHCP Network Configuration Tool are installed in /opt/opsware/dhcpd/man on the Boot Server.
