Hi,
I have a question on how to configure my Solaris 2.7 box as a bootp server or relay agent. I have gone to the docs.sun.com site but the documentation/man pages there does not help my current situation. I'm not sure where to start and nor do I know how to configure my machine.
What I did was run in.dhcpd and tried to run it in BOOTP compatibility mode.
#in.dhcpd -b manual
The OS says
FATAL: /etc/default/dhcp does not exist
I read the man pages and it says there are two other files that the program looks at, dhcptab and dhcp_network. For some reason, these files are missing too. I tried using pntadm, like the man page suggested, to create/edit these files. Again, file creation failed.
I have also tried running dhcpconfig. It is a menu type program so it should be easy to use but I was following the man page and the options on the screen did not appear as I expected it to. The man page said to descend into the "DHCP server daemon option setup" section. There was no such section when I run the command.
The last thing I thought of was perhaps I need to do something with run levels (ie etc/rc2.d) to make this work but I'm new to system administration and I don't wanna mess anything up. If anyone can give me some help, that'd be great. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.
