NAME
dhcpleased —
a dynamic host configuration protocol
daemon
SYNOPSIS
dhcpleased |
[-dnv] [-f
file] [-s
socket] |
DESCRIPTION
dhcpleased is a dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) daemon for clients. It requests IP configuration information from for
example those offered by dhcpd(8), on interfaces with the
AUTOCONF4
flag set. See hostname.if(5) and
ifconfig(8) on how to enable auto configuration on an interface.
dhcpleased monitors network interface
states (interface going up or down, auto configuration enabled or disabled
etc.) and sends requests when necessary.
A running dhcpleased can be controlled
with the dhcpleasectl(8) utility.
The options are as follows:
-d- Do not daemonize. If this option is specified,
dhcpleasedwill run in the foreground and log to stderr. -ffile- Specify an alternative configuration file.
-n- Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
-ssocket- Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
-v- Produce more verbose output. Multiple
-voptions increase the verbosity.
FILES
- /dev/dhcpleased.sock
- UNIX-domain socket used for communication with dhcpleasectl(8).
- /etc/dhcpleased.conf
- Default
dhcpleasedconfiguration file.
