Configuring the DHCP Server of Solaris

Saturday, June 20. 2009

Jeppe Toustrup submitted an interesting article to BigAdmin: Configuring the DHCP Server for the Solaris OS or OpenSolaris OS. By the way: The DHCP server is a good example of one basic idea of administration in many Sun products: Instead of directly editing a file you leave this task to an application provided by the service. For example you can do the same with the Sun Webserver with its wadm or dsconf with the Sun Directory Server. You don´t have to parse the files on your own.

honestly, I tried to use the Solaris DHCP stuff but it was just too complicated to set up (command line of course), I switched back to ISCs dhcpd...

Same here. I found ISC DHCPD much easier to use, too.

It´s not easier or harder ... it´s just different ... the Sun approach has the advantage that it´s easier to script with it ...
