ISC's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Distribution provides a
|
|
freely redistributable reference implementation of all aspects of
|
|
DHCP, through a suite of DHCP tools:
|
|
|
|
* A DHCP server
|
|
* A DHCP client
|
|
* A DHCP relay agent
|
|
|
|
These tools all use a modular API which is designed to be sufficiently
|
|
general that it can easily be made to work on POSIX-compliant
|
|
operating systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and
|
|
MacOS.
|
|
|
|
The DHCP server, client and relay agent are provided both as
|
|
reference implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured
|
|
sample implementations. Both the client and the server provide
|
|
functionality that, while not strictly required by the protocol,
|
|
is very useful in practice. The DHCP server also makes allowances
|
|
for non-compliant clients which one might still like to support.
|
|
|
|
This package contains the Relay component.
