NAME

       dhclient.conf - DHCP client configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       The  dhclient.conf  file  contains  configuration  information  for dhclient, the Internet
       Systems Consortium DHCP Client.

       The dhclient.conf file is a free-form ASCII text file.  It is  parsed  by  the  recursive-
       descent  parser  built  into  dhclient.   The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for
       formatting purposes.  Keywords in the file are case-insensitive.  Comments may  be  placed
       anywhere  within the file (except within quotes).  Comments begin with the # character and
       end at the end of the line.

       The dhclient.conf file can be used to configure the behaviour of  the  client  in  a  wide
       variety  of  ways:  protocol  timing,  information  requested from the server, information
       required of  the  server,  defaults  to  use  if  the  server  does  not  provide  certain
       information,  values  with which to override information provided by the server, or values
       to prepend or append to information provided by the server.  The  configuration  file  can
       also be preinitialized with addresses to use on networks that don't have DHCP servers.

PROTOCOL TIMING

       The  timing  behaviour  of  the  client  need not be configured by the user.  If no timing
       configuration is provided by the user, a fairly reasonable timing behaviour will  be  used
       by default - one which results in fairly timely updates without placing an inordinate load
       on the server.

       If required the following statements can be used to adjust the  timing  behaviour  of  the
       DHCPv4  client.   The  DHCPv6  protocol  provides values to use and they are not currently
       configurable.

       The timeout statement

        timeout time;

       The timeout statement determines the amount of time that must pass between the  time  that
       the  client  begins to try to determine its address and the time that it decides that it's
       not going to be able to contact a server.  By default, this timeout is 300 seconds.  After
       the  timeout has passed, if there are any static leases defined in the configuration file,
       or any leases remaining in the lease database that have not yet expired, the  client  will
       loop through these leases attempting to validate them, and if it finds one that appears to
       be valid, it will use that lease's address.  If  there  are  no  valid  static  leases  or
       unexpired  leases  in  the  lease database, the client will restart the protocol after the
       defined retry interval.

       The retry statement

        retry time;

       The retry statement determines the time that must pass after  the  client  has  determined
       that  there  is no DHCP server present before it tries again to contact a DHCP server.  By
       default, this is five minutes.

       The select-timeout statement

        select-timeout time;

       It is possible (some might say desirable) for there  to  be  more  than  one  DHCP  server
       serving  any  given  network.  In this case, it is possible that a client may be sent more
       than one offer in response to its initial lease discovery message.  It may be that one  of
       these  offers  is preferable to the other (e.g., one offer may have the address the client
       previously used, and the other may not).

       The select-timeout is the time after the client sends its first lease discovery request at
       which it stops waiting for offers from servers, assuming that it has received at least one
       such offer.  If no offers have been received by the time the select-timeout  has  expired,
       the client will accept the first offer that arrives.

       By  default,  the select-timeout is zero seconds - that is, the client will take the first
       offer it sees.

       The reboot statement

        reboot time;

       When the client is restarted, it first tries to reacquire the last address it  had.   This
       is  called  the  INIT-REBOOT  state.   If  it is still attached to the same network it was
       attached to when it last ran, this is  the  quickest  way  to  get  started.   The  reboot
       statement sets the time that must elapse after the client first tries to reacquire its old
       address before it gives up and tries to discover a new address.  By  default,  the  reboot
       timeout is ten seconds.

       The backoff-cutoff statement

        backoff-cutoff time;

       The  client  uses  an  exponential backoff algorithm with some randomness, so that if many
       clients try to configure themselves at the same time, they will not make their requests in
       lockstep.   The  backoff-cutoff  statement  determines the maximum amount of time that the
       client is allowed to back off, the actual value will be evaluated randomly between 1/2  to
       1 1/2 times the time specified.  It defaults to fifteen seconds.

       The initial-interval statement

        initial-interval time;

       The  initial-interval statement sets the amount of time between the first attempt to reach
       a server and the second attempt to reach a server.  Each  time  a  message  is  sent,  the
       interval  between  messages  is  incremented by twice the current interval multiplied by a
       random number between zero and one.  If it is greater than the backoff-cutoff  amount,  it
       is set to that amount.  It defaults to ten seconds.

       The initial-delay statement

        initial-delay time;

       initial-delay  parameter  sets  the  maximum  time  client  can  wait  after  start before
       commencing first transmission.  According to RFC2131 Section 4.4.1, client should  wait  a
       random  time  between  startup and the actual first transmission. Previous versions of ISC
       DHCP client used to wait random time up to 5 seconds, but that was unwanted due to  impact
       on startup time. As such, new versions have the default initial delay set to 0. To restore
       old behavior, please set initial-delay to 5.

DHCPv6 LEASE SELECTION

       In the DHCPv6 protocol the client will wait a small amount  of  time  to  allow  ADVERTISE
       messages  from  multiple  servers  to arrive.  It will then need to choose from all of the
       messages that may have arrived before proceeding to  making  a  request  of  the  selected
       server.

       The first selection criteria is the set of options and addresses in the message.  Messages
       that don't include an option specified as required will be given a  score  of  0  and  not
       used.   If the -R option is given on the command line then messages that don't include the
       correct number of bindings (IA-NA, IA-TA or IA-PD) will be discarded.

       The next criteria is the preference value from the message.  With the  highest  preference
       value being used even if leases with better addresses or options are available.

       Finally  the  lease is scored and the lease with the highest score is selected.  A lease's
       score is based on the number of bindings, number of addresses and  number  of  options  it
       contains:
            bindings * X + addresses * Y + options
       By  default  X = 10000 and Y = 100, this will cause the client to select a lease with more
       bindings over a lease with less bindings but more addresses.  The weightings were  changed
       as  part  of  implementing RFC 7550.  Previously they were X = 50 and Y = 100 meaning more
       addresses were preferred over more bindings.  If you wish to continue using the old  style
       you  may  do  so  by  editing  the  file  includes/site.h  and uncommenting the define for
       USE_ORIGINAL_CLIENT_LEASE_WEIGHTS.

LEASE REQUIREMENTS AND REQUESTS

       The DHCP protocol  allows  the  client  to  request  that  the  server  send  it  specific
       information,  and  not  send  it other information that it is not prepared to accept.  The
       protocol also allows the client to reject  offers  from  servers  if  they  don't  contain
       information the client needs, or if the information provided is not satisfactory.

       There  is  a  variety  of data contained in offers that DHCP servers send to DHCP clients.
       The data that can be specifically requested is what are called DHCP Options.  DHCP Options
       are defined in
        dhcp-options(5).

       The request statement

        [ also ] request [ [ option-space . ] option ] [, ... ];

       The  request  statement  causes  the  client  to request that any server responding to the
       client send the client its values for the specified options.  Only the option names should
       be  specified  in  the  request statement - not option parameters.  By default, the DHCPv4
       client requests the subnet-mask,  broadcast-address,  time-offset,  routers,  domain-name,
       domain-name-servers and host-name options while the DHCPv6 client requests the dhcp6 name-
       servers and domain-search options.  Note that if you  enter  a  ´request´  statement,  you
       over-ride these defaults and these options will not be requested.

       In  some cases, it may be desirable to send no parameter request list at all.  To do this,
       simply write the request statement but specify no parameters:

            request;

       In most cases, it is desirable to simply add one option to the request list  which  is  of
       interest  to  the  client  in  question.   In  this case, it is best to ´also request´ the
       additional options:

            also request domain-search, dhcp6.sip-servers-addresses;

       The require statement

        [ also ] require [ [ option-space . ] option ] [, ... ];

       The require statement lists options that must  be  sent  in  order  for  an  offer  to  be
       accepted.  Offers that do not contain all the listed options will be ignored.  There is no
       default require list.

            require name-servers;

            interface eth0 {
                 also require domain-search;
            }

       The send statement

        send [ option declaration ] ;

       The send statement causes the client to send the specified option to the server  with  the
       specified  value.   This  is  a  full  option declaration as described in dhcp-options(5).
       Options that are always sent in the DHCP protocol should not  be  specified  here,  except
       that  the  client  can  specify  a requested dhcp-lease-time option other than the default
       requested lease time, which is two hours.  The other obvious use for this statement is  to
       send information to the server that will allow it to differentiate between this client and
       other clients or kinds of clients.

DYNAMIC DNS

       The client now has some very limited support  for  doing  DNS  updates  when  a  lease  is
       acquired.   This  is  prototypical,  and  probably doesn't do what you want.  It also only
       works if you happen to have control over your DNS server, which isn't very likely.

       Note that everything in this section is true whether you are using DHCPv4 or DHCPv6.   The
       exact same syntax is used for both.

       To  make  it  work,  you  have  to  declare  a  key  and  zone  as in the DHCP server (see
       dhcpd.conf(5) for details).  You also need to configure the fqdn option on the client,  as
       follows:

         send fqdn.fqdn "grosse.example.com.";
         send fqdn.encoded on;
         send fqdn.server-update off;
         also request fqdn, dhcp6.fqdn;

       The  fqdn.fqdn  option  MUST  be  a  fully-qualified  domain name.  You MUST define a zone
       statement for the zone to be updated.  The fqdn.encoded option may need to be set to on or
       off, depending on the DHCP server you are using.

       The do-forward-updates statement

        do-forward-updates [ flag ] ;

       If  you  want  to do DNS updates in the DHCP client script (see dhclient-script(8)) rather
       than having the DHCP client do the update directly (for example, if you want to use SIG(0)
       authentication,  which  is not supported directly by the DHCP client, you can instruct the
       client not to do the update using the do-forward-updates statement.  Flag should  be  true
       if  you want the DHCP client to do the update, and false if you don't want the DHCP client
       to do the update.  By default, the DHCP client will do the DNS update.

OPTION MODIFIERS

       In some cases, a client may receive option data  from  the  server  which  is  not  really
       appropriate for that client, or may not receive information that it needs, and for which a
       useful default value exists.  It may also receive information which is useful,  but  which
       needs  to  be  supplemented with local information.  To handle these needs, several option
       modifiers are available.

       The default statement

        default [ option declaration ] ;

       If for some option the client should use the value supplied by the server,  but  needs  to
       use some default value if no value was supplied by the server, these values can be defined
       in the default statement.

       The supersede statement

        supersede [ option declaration ] ;

       If for some option the client should always  use  a  locally-configured  value  or  values
       rather  than  whatever  is  supplied  by  the  server,  these values can be defined in the
       supersede statement.

       The prepend statement

        prepend [ option declaration ] ;

       If for some set of options the client should use a value you  supply,  and  then  use  the
       values  supplied  by  the  server,  if  any,  these  values  can be defined in the prepend
       statement.  The prepend statement can only be used for options which allow more  than  one
       value  to  be  given.   This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
       will be unpredictable.

       The append statement

        append [ option declaration ] ;

       If for some set of options the client should first use the values supplied by the  server,
       if  any,  and  then  use  values  you  supply,  these  values can be defined in the append
       statement.  The append statement can only be used for options which allow  more  than  one
       value  to  be  given.   This restriction is not enforced - if you ignore it, the behaviour
       will be unpredictable.

LEASE DECLARATIONS

       The lease declaration

        lease { lease-declaration [ ... lease-declaration ] }

       The DHCP client may decide after some period of time (see PROTOCOL TIMING) that it is  not
       going  to  succeed  in contacting a server.  At that time, it consults its own database of
       old leases and tests each one that has not yet timed out by pinging the listed router  for
       that  lease  to  see if that lease could work.  It is possible to define one or more fixed
       leases in the client configuration file for networks where  there  is  no  DHCP  or  BOOTP
       service,  so  that the client can still automatically configure its address.  This is done
       with the lease statement.

       NOTE: the lease statement is also used in the dhclient.leases  file  in  order  to  record
       leases  that  have  been  received  from  DHCP  servers.  Some of the syntax for leases as
       described below is only needed in the dhclient.leases file.   Such  syntax  is  documented
       here for completeness.

       A  lease statement consists of the lease keyword, followed by a left curly brace, followed
       by one or more lease declaration  statements,  followed  by  a  right  curly  brace.   The
       following lease declarations are possible:

        bootp;

       The  bootp  statement  is  used  to  indicate  that the lease was acquired using the BOOTP
       protocol rather than the DHCP protocol.  It is never necessary  to  specify  this  in  the
       client configuration file.  The client uses this syntax in its lease database file.

        interface "string";

       The  interface  lease  statement  is  used to indicate the interface on which the lease is
       valid.  If set, this lease will only be tried on a particular interface.  When the  client
       receives  a  lease  from  a  server,  it  always  records the interface number on which it
       received that lease.  If predefined leases are specified in the  dhclient.conf  file,  the
       interface should also be specified, although this is not required.

        fixed-address ip-address;

       The  fixed-address statement is used to set the ip address of a particular lease.  This is
       required for all lease statements.  The IP address must be  specified  as  a  dotted  quad
       (e.g., 12.34.56.78).

        filename "string";

       The  filename  statement specifies the name of the boot filename to use.  This is not used
       by the standard client configuration script, but is included for completeness.

        server-name "string";

       The server-name statement specifies the name of the boot server name to use.  This is also
       not used by the standard client configuration script.

        option option-declaration;

       The option statement is used to specify the value of an option supplied by the server, or,
       in the case of predefined leases declared in dhclient.conf, the value that the user wishes
       the client configuration script to use if the predefined lease is used.

        script "script-name";

       The  script  statement  is  used  to specify the pathname of the dhcp client configuration
       script.  This script  is  used  by  the  dhcp  client  to  set  each  interface's  initial
       configuration  prior  to  requesting  an  address,  to  test  the address once it has been
       offered, and to set the interface's final configuration once a lease  has  been  acquired.
       If  no  lease  is acquired, the script is used to test predefined leases, if any, and also
       called once if no valid lease can be identified.   For  more  information,  see  dhclient-
       script(8).

        vendor option space "name";

       The vendor option space statement is used to specify which option space should be used for
       decoding the vendor-encapsulate-options option  if  one  is  received.   The  dhcp-vendor-
       identifier can be used to request a specific class of vendor options from the server.  See
       dhcp-options(5) for details.

        medium "media setup";

       The medium statement can be used on systems where network interfaces cannot  automatically
       determine  the  type  of network to which they are connected.  The media setup string is a
       system-dependent parameter which is passed to the dhcp client  configuration  script  when
       initializing  the interface.  On Unix and Unix-like systems, the argument is passed on the
       ifconfig command line when configuring the interface.

       The dhcp client automatically declares this parameter if it uses a  media  type  (see  the
       media  statement)  when  configuring  the  interface  in  order  to  obtain a lease.  This
       statement should be used in predefined leases only if the network interface requires media
       type configuration.

        renew date;

        rebind date;

        expire date;

       The  renew  statement  defines  the  time  at which the dhcp client should begin trying to
       contact its server to renew a lease that it is using.  The rebind  statement  defines  the
       time  at  which the dhcp client should begin to try to contact any dhcp server in order to
       renew its lease.  The expire statement defines the time at which the dhcp client must stop
       using a lease if it has not been able to contact a server in order to renew it.

       These  declarations  are automatically set in leases acquired by the DHCP client, but must
       also be configured in predefined leases - a predefined lease whose expiry time has  passed
       will not be used by the DHCP client.

       Dates  are  specified  in  one  of  two ways.  The software will output times in these two
       formats depending on if the db-time-format configuration parameter has been set to default
       or local.

       If it is set to default, then date values appear as follows:

        <weekday> <year>/<month>/<day> <hour>:<minute>:<second>

       The  weekday  is  present  to make it easy for a human to tell when a lease expires - it's
       specified as a number from zero  to  six,  with  zero  being  Sunday.   When  declaring  a
       predefined  lease,  it  can  always  be specified as zero.  The year is specified with the
       century, so it should generally be four digits except for really long leases.   The  month
       is  specified  as  a number starting with 1 for January.  The day of the month is likewise
       specified starting with 1.  The hour is a number between 0 and 23,  the  minute  a  number
       between 0 and 59, and the second also a number between 0 and 59.

       If  the  db-time-format  configuration  was  set  to local, then the date values appear as
       follows:

        epoch     <seconds-since-epoch>;     #     <day-name>      <month-name>      <day-number>
       <hours>:<minutes>:<seconds> <year>

       The  seconds-since-epoch is as according to the system's local clock (often referred to as
       "unix time").  The # symbol supplies a comment that describes what actual time this is  as
       according  to  the system's configured timezone, at the time the value was written.  It is
       provided only for human inspection, the epoch time  is  the  only  recommended  value  for
       machine inspection.

       Note  that  when  defining  a static lease, one may use either time format one wishes, and
       need not include the comment or values after it.

       If the time is infinite in duration, then the date is never instead of an actual date.

ALIAS DECLARATIONS

        alias {  declarations ... }

       Some DHCP clients running TCP/IP roaming protocols may require that  in  addition  to  the
       lease  they  may acquire via DHCP, their interface also be configured with a predefined IP
       alias so that they can have a permanent IP  address  even  while  roaming.   The  Internet
       Systems  Consortium DHCP client doesn't support roaming with fixed addresses directly, but
       in order to facilitate such experimentation, the dhcp client can be set up to configure an
       IP alias using the alias declaration.

       The  alias  declaration  resembles a lease declaration, except that options other than the
       subnet-mask option are ignored by the standard client  configuration  script,  and  expiry
       times  are  ignored.   A  typical  alias  declaration includes an interface declaration, a
       fixed-address declaration for the IP alias address, and a subnet-mask option  declaration.
       A medium statement should never be included in an alias declaration.

OTHER DECLARATIONS

        db-time-format [ default | local ] ;

       The  db-time-format  option  determines  which of two output methods are used for printing
       times in leases files.  The default format provides day-and-time  in  UTC,  whereas  local
       uses  a seconds-since-epoch to store the time value, and helpfully places a local timezone
       time in a comment on the same line.  The formats are described in detail in this  manpage,
       within the LEASE DECLARATIONS section.

       The lease-id-format parameter

         lease-id-format format;

         The  format  parameter  must  be either octal or hex.  This parameter governs the format
         used to write certain values to lease files. With the default format, octal, values  are
         written  as  quoted  strings  in which non-printable characters are represented as octal
         escapes - a backslash character followed by three octal digits.  When the hex format  is
         specified,  values  are  written  as  an  unquoted  series  of  hexadecimal digit pairs,
         separated by colons.

         Currently, the values written out based on lease-id-format are the default-duid and  the
         IAID  value  (DHCPv6 only).  The client automatically reads the values in either format.
         Note that when the format is octal, rather than as an octal string, IAID  is  output  as
         hex  if  it  contains  no printable characters or as a string if contains only printable
         characters. This is done to maintain backward compatibility.

          reject cidr-ip-address [, ... cidr-ip-address ] ;

         The reject statement causes the DHCP client to reject offers from servers  whose  server
         identifier  matches  any  of  the specified hosts or subnets.  This can be used to avoid
         being configured by rogue or misconfigured dhcp servers, although it should  be  a  last
         resort - better to track down the bad DHCP server and fix it.

         The  cidr-ip-address configuration type is of the form ip-address[/prefixlen], where ip-
         address is a dotted quad IP address, and prefixlen is the  CIDR  prefix  length  of  the
         subnet,  counting  the  number  of  significant  bits  in  the netmask starting from the
         leftmost end.  Example configuration syntax:

         reject 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.5;

         The above example would cause offers from any server identifier in the entire  RFC  1918
         "Class  C"  network  192.168.0.0/16,  or  the  specific  single  address 10.0.0.5, to be
         rejected.

          interface "name" { declarations ...  }

         A client with more than one network interface may require different behaviour  depending
         on  which  interface  is being configured.  All timing parameters and declarations other
         than lease and alias declarations can be enclosed in an interface declaration, and those
         parameters  will  then  be  used only for the interface that matches the specified name.
         Interfaces for which there is no interface declaration will use the parameters  declared
         outside of any interface declaration, or the default settings.

         Note  well:  ISC  dhclient  only  maintains  one  list  of  interfaces,  which is either
         determined at startup from command line arguments, or otherwise is autodetected.  If you
         supplied  the list of interfaces on the command line, this configuration clause will add
         the named interface to the list in such a way that will cause it  to  be  configured  by
         DHCP.  Which may not be the result you had intended.  This is an undesirable side effect
         that will be addressed in a future release.

          pseudo "name" "real-name" { declarations ...  }

         Under some circumstances it can be useful to declare a  pseudo-interface  and  have  the
         DHCP  client  acquire  a configuration for that interface.  Each interface that the DHCP
         client is supporting normally has a DHCP client state machine running on it  to  acquire
         and maintain its lease.  A pseudo-interface is just another state machine running on the
         interface named real-name, with its own lease and  its  own  state.   If  you  use  this
         feature,  you  must  provide  a  client identifier for both the pseudo-interface and the
         actual interface, and the two identifiers must be different.  You must  also  provide  a
         separate client script for the pseudo-interface to do what you want with the IP address.
         For example:

              interface "ep0" {
                   send dhcp-client-identifier "my-client-ep0";
              }
              pseudo "secondary" "ep0" {
                   send dhcp-client-identifier "my-client-ep0-secondary";
                   script "/etc/dhclient-secondary";
              }

         The client script for the pseudo-interface should not configure the interface up or down
         -  essentially, all it needs to handle are the states where a lease has been acquired or
         renewed, and the states where a lease has  expired.   See  dhclient-script(8)  for  more
         information.

          media "media setup" [ , "media setup", ... ];

         The  media  statement  defines  one  or more media configuration parameters which may be
         tried while attempting to acquire an IP address.  The dhcp  client  will  cycle  through
         each  media  setup  string  on  the list, configuring the interface using that setup and
         attempting to boot, and then trying  the  next  one.   This  can  be  used  for  network
         interfaces which aren't capable of sensing the media type unaided - whichever media type
         succeeds in getting a request to the server and hearing the reply is probably right  (no
         guarantees).

         The  media  setup  is  only  used  for  the  initial  phase  of address acquisition (the
         DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPOFFER packets).  Once an address has been acquired, the dhcp client
         will  record it in its lease database and will record the media type used to acquire the
         address.  Whenever the client tries to renew the lease, it  will  use  that  same  media
         type.   The  lease  must  expire before the client will go back to cycling through media
         types.

          hardware link-type mac-address;

         The hardware statement defines the hardware MAC address to use for this  interface,  for
         DHCP servers or relays to direct their replies.  dhclient will determine the interface's
         MAC address automatically, so use of this parameter is not recommended.   The  link-type
         corresponds  to  the  interface's  link layer type (example: ´ethernet´), while the mac-
         address is a string of colon-separated hexadecimal values for octets.

          anycast-mac link-type mac-address;

         The anycast-mac statement over-rides the all-ones broadcast MAC  address  dhclient  will
         use  when  it  is  transmitting  packets to the all-ones limited broadcast IPv4 address.
         This configuration parameter is  useful  to  reduce  the  number  of  broadcast  packets
         transmitted  by DHCP clients, but is only useful if you know the DHCP service(s) anycast
         MAC address prior to configuring your client.  The link-type and mac-address  parameters
         are configured in a similar manner to the hardware statement.

SAMPLE

       The  following  configuration  file  was  used  on a laptop running NetBSD 1.3, though the
       domains have been modified.  The laptop has an  IP  alias  of  192.5.5.213,  and  has  one
       interface,  ep0  (a 3com 3C589C).  Booting intervals have been shortened somewhat from the
       default, because the client is known to spend most of its time  on  networks  with  little
       DHCP activity.  The laptop does roam to multiple networks.

       timeout 300;
       retry 60;
       reboot 10;
       select-timeout 5;
       initial-interval 2;
       reject 192.33.137.209;

       interface "ep0" {
           send host-name "andare.example.com";
           hardware ethernet 00:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
           send dhcp-client-identifier 1:0:a0:24:ab:fb:9c;
           send dhcp-lease-time 3600;
           supersede domain-search "example.com", "rc.isc.org", "home.isc.org";
           prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
           request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
                domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
           require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
           script "/sbin/dhclient-script";
           media "media 10baseT/UTP", "media 10base2/BNC";
       }

       alias {
         interface "ep0";
         fixed-address 192.5.5.213;
         option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
       }
       This  is a very complicated dhclient.conf file - in general, yours should be much simpler.
       In many cases, it's sufficient to just create an empty dhclient.conf file -  the  defaults
       are usually fine.
