<para>DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol
|
|
|
|
|
used by many sites to automatically provide information such as IP addresses,
|
|
|
|
|
subnet masks and routing information to computers. If your network uses
|
|
|
|
|
DHCP, you will need a DHCP client in order to connect to it.

DHCP is also used by some cable modems.</para>

<para>BLFS currently provides installation instructions for
|
|
|
|
|
two DHCP clients, <command>dhclient</command> (from the
|
|
|
|
|
<application>dhcp</application> package) and <command>dhcpcd</command>.
|
|
|
|
|
BLFS presents both sets of installation instructions and
|
|
|
|
|
discusses how to create an appropriate service script to work with the
|
|
|
|
|
<command>network</command> bootscript and the DHCP

client of your choice.</para>
