DHCPd

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses.)
If Disabled the DHCP Server defined in Setup will not function.
Static IP Addresses
- DHCPd can support Static IP addresses, these are machines that will have a constant IP address but have been configured as DHCP.
- DHCP static addresses are in the form of (IP address) (HW Address) (Hostname) with SPACE seperating all variables (ie 192.168.1.50 00:06:55:43:1E:B1 sveasoft)
- DHCP Static address should ALWAYS be outside of the DHCP assigned address Range or IP conflicts could occur.
- HW Address (also known as MAC address) can be found in either the LAN or Wireless Status Screen
- Hostnames (also known as Full Computer Name) can be found in the system properties tab in Windows XP
Advanced
- Sveasoft Firmware has been compiled with udhcp (integrated in busybox)
- All lease information configuration and lease information can be found in /tmp
- udhcpd.conf file will show you the subnet ranges for the leasing
- udhcpd.statics will show you the statics ip's
- udhcpd.leases for current leases
