Files Reference
Default configuration information
for the BOOTP (boot protocol) relay agent program (dhcprd).
The dhcprd configuration file
contains entries for logging information and servers to receive BOOTP
packets.
Following are the formats for the
data in the configuration file.
| # Comment line
| The # character means that there is a comment from that point to the end
of the line.
|
| numLogFiles n
| Specifies the number of log files. If 0 is specified, no log file
will be maintained, and no log message is displayed anywhere.
n is the maximum number of log files maintained as the size of the
most recent log file reaches its maximum size and a new log file is
created.
|
| logFileSize n
| Maximum size of a log file. When the size of the most recent log
file reaches this value, it is renamed and a new log file is created.
n is measured in kilobytes(KB).
|
| logFileName filename
| Name and path of the most recent log file. Less recent log files
have the number 1 to (n - 1) appended to their names; the larger the
number, the older the file.
|
| logItem <option
name>
| One item that will be logged. Multiple of these lines are
allowed. This allows for the specified logging level to be turned
on. The following are option names:
- SYSERR
- System error, at the interface to the platform
- OBJERR
- Object error, in between objects in the process
- PROTERR
- Protocol error, between client and server
- WARNING
- Warning, worth attention from the user
- EVENT
- Event occurred to the process
- ACTION
- Action taken by the process
- INFO
- Information that might be useful
- ACNTING
- Who was served, and when
- TRACE
- Code flow, for debugging.
|
| server <ip
address>
| The address of a server to receive the DHCP or BOOTP packet.
Multiple servers may be specified, and all will receive the packet.
|
The following example sets the
logging parameters and configures two servers to receive BOOTP and DHCP
packets. The servers are specified singly and with their ip
addresses. The logging statements below tell the daemon to use at most
four logfiles, rotate the log files after their size is 100 kilobytes of data,
and place the files in the local directory and use
dhcpsd.log as the base name. On rotation, the old
file will be moved to dhcpsd.log1, and the daemon will start
logging to an empty dhcpsd.log.
