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

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

     The description of the dhcpsvc.conf file in this man page is
     informational only. The preferred method of setting or modi-
     fying 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 registered 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 administer the data store.  CONVER  should
         not be changed manually.

     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. Gen-
         eric 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 parame-
         ter.



     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

     RESOURCE_CONFIG

         String. The private layer provides  for  module-specific
         configuration   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  pro-
         vider,  it  is  called  during  module  load time by the
         private layer, with the contents 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 pro-
         vide a configuration 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  primary  server  to  respond  before  responding
         itself. Default is 20 seconds. 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.  Gen-
