ISC DHCP 4.1.x will have several new DHCPv6 features that were not in DHCP 4.0.x. These new features include:
* Support for the rapid-commit option on the client side
* Prefix Delegation support
* IA_TA address support
* A basic DHCPv6 relay agent
* basic DHCPv6 Leasequery support
configuration files and binaries in a number of cases. This should hopefully
fix them all. Without this patch they look in /etc only and fail to start
if the file is not present.
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 Client component.
