Mainly, there're 3 packages that does DHCP+BOOTP
1. CMU bootpd patched with DHCP extensions,
ftp://ftp.eng.auburn.edu/pub/doug/bootp-DH2.4.3.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.ntplx.net/pub/networking/bootp/bootp-DD2.4.3.tar.gz
2. Sun's ISS, http://www.sun.com/javastation/jcdev/software/install/
3. ISC DHCP, http://www.isc.org [http://{ftp,www}.vix.com]
I stick with CMU's bootpd, coz we already have an existing bootpd running and,
maybe I am wrong, Sun's ISS doesnt seem to be able to do static ip assignment.
Thanks again,
--------- Original Question --------------------------------------------------
Is there any *working* DHCP server for solaris ?!
Or is there a program which supports both bootp and dhcp ?!

You can request the ISS (internet server supplemental) from Sun, this has a DHCP
server as well as other goodies.

Hello,
take a look at the JavaStation Side from Sun.
No Kidding, go to "Prerequisites" and you'll find, what you're looking
for.

I strongly suggest using the version of the CMU bootp server, patched
for DHCP, that's been modified by Doug Hughes (doug@eng.auburn.edu).
It's more stable and works better with Mac DHCP clients (ie, doesn't
dump core and die) than the CMU original.
You can get it at ftp.eng.auburn.edu:pub/doug if you are interested.

Have you tried the ISC DHCP server (http://www.isc.org)? I've got the Sun
DHCP server (included with Sun's free Internet Server Suplement kit)
installed here, and it works fine.

Check out http://www.isc.org/dhcp.html
It's free and we're using it on a FreeBSD router serving 3 different
subnets. No problems. We're using the development version, not the
stable version.
It looks like Solaris support will only serve one subnet at this point.

bootpd 2.4.3 with the DHCP extensions works fine. You should be able to
download it from...
ftp://ftp.ntplx.net/pub/networking/bootp/bootp-DD2.4.3.tar.gz
hope this helps,

Check http://www.sun.com/javastation/jcdev
Sun has provided a DHCP server for the javastation, but it is a full blown DHCP
server.

Sun has thier own DHCP server, and the freeware reference server is available
from http://www.vix.com/ (Actually http://www.isc.org/)

Yes, you need to get two packages
SUNWdhcsr BOOTP/DHCP Server Services, (Root)
SUNWdhcsu BOOTP/DHCP Server Services, (Usr)
and the patch iss_man_dhcp_sparc-01 if you want the man pages.

Hi, I am currently working on setting up a DHCP server which is supposed
to support both bootp and DHCP, it can be found at the ftp site :
ftp.vix.com
in the directory :
/pub/dhcp
I have version 5.14 but no doubt it has moved on since then.
You may wish to join their mailing list at
http://www.fugue.com/dhcp/lists or send mail to dhcp-request@fugue.com.
I can't say whether this is a good dhcp server or not as it isn't in
production yet, however it is free and it claims to be upholding dhcp
standards.
I've had it running several times briefly under Solaris 2.5.1 and it
appears to do the job.
Best of luck.
