<title>DHCP Clients</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a
|
|
protocol which is 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>We currently provide installation instructions for two DHCP
|
|
clients, dhclient (from the dhcp package) and dhcpcd. We begin with a page
|
|
which shows how to alter the LFS bootscripts for generic DHCP support.
|
|
We then present the two sets of installation instructions which also discuss
|
|
how to create an appropriate configuration file to work with the
|
|
DHCP client of your choice.</para>
