5.1.9 DHCP SERVER SETTINGS
The DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to
client hosts. The section
[dhcpd] contains a list of parameters and settings for the DHCP server in the system. It
is divided into global settings for the server and parameters for the DHCP subnet.
Table 5.8 Settings in the [dhcpd] Section of the ip.cfg
