NAME

dhcp - file containing default parameter values for the location and type of the databases used by the DHCP service

DESCRIPTION

The dhcp file resides in directory /etc/default and contains parameters for specifying the type and location of DHCP service databases.

The dhcp 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

Two parameters are currently supported:

Keyword

Value

RESOURCE	Can be either nisplus or files
PATH	Path to data files

The value of the PATH keyword is specified as an absolute path for the files resource, or a fully-qualified directory for the nisplus resource. The preferred method of modifying the dhcp file is through use of the dhcpconfig(1M) command.
