DHCP software for Sun

2007-12-25 10:20:00

Sorry this took so long but you know how it is...

The consensus is that

        1. DHCP server s/w does NOTcome with Solaris 2.x

        2. DHCP server s/w DOES come with Solstice PC/Admin

        3. There are free packages out there

        4. There are commercial ( for sale) packages out there

                SolarNET pcnfs was mentioned as one.

        5. The cheapest solution is SAMBA

        6. The best product is at http://www.fugue.com/dhcp/

                 

No one had any helpful hints on doing this, except for one person who pointed me

to an

FAQ at http://web.syr.edu/~jmwobus/comfaqs/dhcp.faq.html

We haven't made a decision yet, but since we are such a "mixed" shop, (Suns,

HPs, PCs, Macs and DECs) it looks like we will probably go with a PC running

Windows/NT since it comes with a DHCP package.

  

Thanks to the following for taking time to answer :

My original question:

>

> Does Solaris 2.x come with a DHCP server package?

>

> And if not (or even if it does!) what is the best DHCP package out there to

run

> on a Sun?

>

> Would anyone have any experiences to share that would make our attempts to set

> one up easier?

Thanks again -
