udhcp server/client package readme
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The udhcp server/client package is primarily geared towards embedded
|
|
systems. It does however, strive to be fully functional, and RFC
|
|
compliant.
|
|
|
|
udhcp server (udhcpd)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The only command line argument to udhcpd is an optional specifed
|
|
config file. If no config file is specified, udhcpd uses the default
|
|
config file, /etc/udhcpd.conf. Ex:
|
|
|
|
udhcpd /etc/udhcpd.eth1.conf
|
|
|
|
The udhcp server employs a number of simple config files:
|
|
|
|
udhcpd.leases
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The udhcpd.leases behavior is designed for an embedded system. The
|
|
file is written either every auto_time seconds, or when a SIGUSR1
|
|
is received (the auto_time timer restarts if a SIGUSR1 is received).
|
|
If you send a SIGTERM to udhcpd directly after a SIGUSR1, udhcpd will
|
|
finish writing the leases file and wait for the aftermentioned script
|
|
to be executed and finish before quiting, so you do not need to sleep
|
|
between sending signals. When the file is written, a script can be
|
|
optionally called to commit the file to flash. Lease times are stored
|
|
in the file by time remaining in lease (for systems without clock
|
|
that works when there is no power), or by the absolute time that it
|
|
expires in seconds from epoch. In the remainig format, expired leases
|
|
are stored as zero. The file is of the format:
|
|
|
|
16 byte MAC
|
|
4 byte ip address
|
|
u32 expire time
|
|
16 byte MAC
|
|
4 byte ip address
|
|
u32 expire time
|
|
.
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
example: hexdump udhcpd.leases
|
|
|
|
0000000 1000 c95a 27d9 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
|
|

|
|
0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 a8c0 140a 0d00 4e29
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
udhcpd.conf
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The format is fairly simple, there is a sample file with all the
|
|
available options and comments describing them in samples/udhcpd.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
udhcp client (udhcpc)
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The udhcp client negotiates a lease with the DHCP server and notifies
|
|
a set of scripts when a leases is obtained or lost. The command line
|
|
options for the udhcp client are:
|
|
|
|
-c, --clientid=CLIENTID Client identifier
|
|
-H, --hostname=HOSTNAME Client hostname
|
|
-h, Alias for -H
|
|
-f, --foreground Do not fork after getting lease
|
|
-b, --background Fork to background if lease cannot be
|
|
immediately negotiated.
|
|
-i, --interface=INTERFACE Interface to use (default: eth0)
|
|
-n, --now Exit with failure if lease cannot be
|
|
immediately negotiated.
|
|
-p, --pidfile=file Store process ID of daemon in file
|
|
-q, --quit Quit after obtaining lease
|
|
-r, --request=IP IP address to request (default: none)
|
|
-s, --script=file Run file at dhcp events (default:
|
|
/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script)
|
|
-v, --version Display version
|
|
|
|
If the requested IP address cannot be obtained, the client accepts the
|
|
address that the server offers.
|
|
|
|
When an event occurs, udhcpc calls the action script. The script by
|
|
default is /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script but this can be changed via
|
|
the command line arguments. The three possible arguments to the script
|
|
are:
|
|
|
|
deconfig: This argument is used when udhcpc starts, and
|
|
when a leases is lost. The script should put the interface in an
|
|
up, but deconfigured state, ie: ifconfig $interface 0.0.0.0.
|
|
|
|
bound: This argument is used when udhcpc moves from an
|
|
unbound, to a bound state. All of the paramaters are set in
|
|
enviromental variables, The script should configure the interface,
|
|
and set any other relavent parameters (default gateway, dns server,
|
|
etc).
|
|
|
|
renew: This argument is used when a DHCP lease is renewed. All of
|
|
the paramaters are set in enviromental variables. This argument is
|
|
used when the interface is already configured, so the IP address,
|
|
will not change, however, the other DHCP paramaters, such as the
|
|
default gateway, subnet mask, and dns server may change.
|
|
|
|
nak: This argument is used with udhcpc receives a NAK message.
|
|
The script with the deconfig argument will be called directly
|
|
afterwards, so no changes to the network interface are neccessary.
|
|
This hook is provided for purely informational purposes (the
|
|
message option may contain a reason for the NAK).
|
|
|
|
The paramaters for enviromental variables are as follows:
|
|
|
|
$HOME - The set $HOME env or "/"
|
|
$PATH - the set $PATH env or "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
|
|

|
|

|
|
bootfile - The bootfile name
|
|
|
|
additional options are easily added in options.c.
|
|
|
|
udhcpc also responds to SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2. SIGUSR1 will force a renew state,
|
|
and SIGUSR2 will force a release of the current lease, and cause udhcpc to
|
|
go into an inactive state (until it is killed, or receives a SIGUSR1). You do
|
|
not need to sleep between sending signals, as signals received are processed
|
|
sequencially in the order they are received.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
compile time options
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The Makefile contains three of the compile time options:
|
|
|
|
DEBUG: If DEBUG is defined, udhcpd will output extra debugging
|
|
output, compile with -g, and not fork to the background when run.
|
|
SYSLOG: If SYSLOG is defined, udhcpd will log all its messages
|
|
syslog, otherwise, it will attempt to log them to stdout.
|
|
|
|
COMBINED_BINARY: If COMBINED_BINARY is define, one binary, udhcpd,
|
|
is created. If called as udhcpd, the dhcp server will be started.
|
|
If called as udhcpc, the dhcp client will be started.
|
|
|
|
dhcpd.h contains the other two compile time options:
|
|
|
|
LEASE_TIME: The default lease time if not specified in the config
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
DHCPD_CONFIG_FILE: The defualt config file to use.
|
|
|
|
options.c contains a set of dhcp options for the client:
|
|
|
|
name[10]: The name of the option as it will appear in scripts
|
|
|
|
flags: The type of option, as well as if it will be requested
|
|
by the client (OPTION_REQ)
|
|
|
|
code: The DHCP code for this option
|
|
|
|
busybox drop-in
|
|
--------------
|
|
udhcp is now a drop-in component for busybox (http://busybox.net).
|
|
To update busybox to the latest revision, simply do a:
|
|
|
|
cp *.[ch] README AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog TODO \
|
|
<busybox_source>/networking/udhcp
|
|
|
|
The only two files udhcp does not provide are config.in and
|
|
Makefile.in, so these may need to be updated from time to time.
