HI,
New to Unix and I inherited a network that runs DHCP in manual configuration mode. Basically, in order for a machine to get an IP it has to have an entry in dhcpd.conf with its MAC address mapped to a hostname (the hostname then maps to an IP address listed in the DNS db file). If there is... (2 Replies)

Hello Experts,
I am working on a software that has network client-server architecture. I need to have a mechanism that notifies me upon change of dhcp address change locally or at remote machine. Windows have IP Helper APIs to get address change notification. Is there something similar in Unix?... (3 Replies)

bptojdb
bptojdb(8) System Manager's Manual bptojdb(8)NAME
bptojdb - Converts bootptab entries into permanent, static IP entries for JOIN databases.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/bptojdb [-m | -f] filename
OPTIONS
Create client IDs for Microsoft DHCP clients. Microsoft does not use the client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier.
Instead, it prepends a 01 (Ethernet) to the MAC address and changes the hardware type to 0 (generic). If the clients in your bootptab file
are Microsoft clients, you will need to use the -m option. Create client IDs for FTP Software's DHCP clients. FTP Software does not use
the client's MAC address by itself as the client identifier. Instead, it creates a 16-byte client identifier with the prefix "cid-". If
the clients in your bootptab file are FTP Software DHCP clients, you will need to use the -f option.
DESCRIPTION
The bptojdb program reads entries in a standard bootptab file and creates permanent, static IP entries for the JOIN databases. After read-
ing the bootptab file, bptojdb displays to the standard output entries in a format suitable for the jdbmod utility. Each MAC address in the
bootptab file is given a static IP address with a permanent lease. To store the information in the JOIN databases, run jdbmod with the
converted data. For example: bptojdb bootptab | jdbmod
