NAME
       dhcpsvc.conf - file containing service configuration parameters for the
       DHCP service

DESCRIPTION
       The dhcpsvc.conf file  resides  in  directory  /etc/inet	 and  contains
       parameters  for	specifying  Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
       service configuration settings, including the type and location of DHCP
       data store used.

       The  description	 of the dhcpsvc.conf file in this man page is informa‐
       tional only. The preferred method of setting or modifying values within
       the  dhcpsvc.conf  file	is  by using dhcpconfig(1M) or the dhcpmgr(1M)
       utility. Do not edit the dhcpsvc.conf file.

       The dhcpsvc.conf file format is ASCII; comment  lines  begin  with  the
       crosshatch  (#)	character. Parameters consist of a keyword followed by
       an equals (=) sign followed by the parameter value, of the form:

       Keyword=Value

       The following Keyword and Value parameters are supported:

       BOOTP_COMPAT

	   String. automatic or manual.	 Enables  support  of  BOOTP  clients.
	   Default is no BOOTP. Value selects BOOTP address allocation method.
	   automatic to support all BOOTP clients, manual to support only reg‐
	   istered BOOTP clients. server mode only parameter.

       CACHE_TIMEOUT

	   Integer.  Number of seconds the server caches data from data store.
	   Used to improve performance. Default is  10	seconds.  server  mode
	   only parameter.

       CONVER

	   Integer.  Container	version.  Used by DHCP administrative tools to
	   identify which version of the public module is being used to admin‐
	   ister the data store. CONVER should not be changed manually.

       DAEMON_ENABLED

	   TRUE/FALSE.	If  TRUE,  the	DHCP daemon can be run. If FALSE, DHCP
	   daemon process exits immediately if the daemon is started.  Default
	   is TRUE. Generic parameter.

       HOSTS_DOMAIN

	   String.  Defines name service domain that DHCP administration tools
	   use when managing the hosts table. Valid only  when	HOSTS_RESOURCE
	   is set to nisplus or dns.

       HOSTS_RESOURCE

	   String.  Defines  what  name service resource should be used by the
	   DHCP administration tools when managing the	hosts  table.  Current
	   valid values are files, nisplus, and dns.

       ICMP_VERIFY

	   TRUE/FALSE. Toggles ICMP echo verification of IP addresses. Default
	   is TRUE. server mode only parameter.

       INTERFACES

	   String. Comma-separated list	 of  interface	names  to  listen  to.
	   Generic parameter.

       LOGGING_FACILITY

	   Integer.  Local  facility number (0-7 inclusive) to log DHCP events
	   to. Default is not to log transactions. Generic parameter.

       OFFER_CACHE_TIMEOUT

	   Integer. Number of  seconds	before	OFFER  cache  timeouts	occur.
	   Default is 10 seconds. server mode only parameter.

       PATH

	   Path	 to  DHCP  data	 tables within the data store specified by the
	   RESOURCE parameter. The value of the PATH keyword  is  specific  to
	   the RESOURCE.

       RELAY_DESTINATIONS

	   String.  Comma-separated  list of host names and/or IP addresses of
	   relay destinations. relay mode only parameter.

       RELAY_HOPS

	   Integer. Max number of BOOTP relay hops before packet  is  dropped.
	   Default is 4. Generic parameter.

       RESCAN_INTERVAL

	   Integer.  Number  of	 minutes  between  automatic  dhcptab rescans.
	   Default is not to do rescans. server mode only parameter.

       RESOURCE

	   Data store resource used. Use this parameter	 to  name  the	public
	   module. See the PATH keyword in dhcp_modules(5).

       RESOURCE_CONFIG

	   String.  The	 private layer provides for module-specific configura‐
	   tion information through the use of	the  RESOURCE_CONFIG  keyword.
	   See dhcp_modules(5).

	   Providers  can  access RESOURCE_CONFIG using the configure function
	   by specifying an optional service provider layer API function:

	   int configure(const char *configp);

	   If this function is defined by the public module  provider,	it  is
	   called  during module load time by the private layer, with the con‐
	   tents of the RESOURCE_CONFIG string acquired by the	administrative
	   interface  (in the case of the dhcpmgr, through the use of a public
	   module-specific java bean extending the dhcpmgr to provide  a  con‐
	   figuration dialog for this information.

       RUN_MODE

	   server or relay. Selects daemon run mode. Default is server.

       SECONDARY_SERVER_TIMEOUT

	   Integer.  The number of seconds a secondary server waits for a pri‐
	   mary server to respond before responding itself. Default is 20 sec‐
	   onds. This is a server mode only parameter.

       UPDATE_TIMEOUT

	   Integer.  Number  of	 seconds  to  wait for a response from the DNS
	   server before timing out. If this parameter is  present,  the  DHCP
	   daemon  updates DNS on behalf of DHCP clients, and waits the number
	   of seconds specified for a response before timing out. You can  use
	   UPDATE_TIMEOUT  without  specifying	a number to enable DNS updates
	   with the default timeout of 15 seconds. If this  parameter  is  not
	   present, the DHCP daemon does not update DNS for DHCP clients.

       VERBOSE

	   TRUE/FALSE.	Toggles verbose mode, determining amount of status and
	   error messages reported by the daemon. Default  is  FALSE.  Set  to
	   TRUE only for debugging. Generic parameter.
