—
a dynamic host configuration protocol
daemon
SYNOPSIS
dhcpleased |
[-dv ] [-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,
dhcpleased
will run in the foreground and log to stderr. -s
socket- Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
-v
- Produce more verbose output. Multiple
-v
options increase the verbosity.
FILES
- /dev/dhcpleased.sock
- UNIX-domain socket used for communication with dhcpleasectl(8).
