Solaris DHCP Client
The Solaris DHCP client is implemented as background daemon,
dhcpagent(1M). This daemon is started automatically during
bootup if there exists at least one dhcp.interface file in
/etc. Only interfaces with a corresponding
/etc/dhcp.interface file are automatically configured during
boot. Network parameters needed for system configuration
during bootup are extracted from the information recieved by
the daemon through the use of the dhcpinfo(1) command. The
daemon's default behavior can be altered by changing the
tunables in the /etc/default/dhcpagent file.
