ISC DHCP only: The ISC DHCP server daemon. For more information, see the dhcpd(8) man page.

ISC DHCP only: Enables a means for relaying DHCP and BOOTP requests from a client on a network with no DHCP servers to servers on other networks. For more information, see the dhcrelay(8) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: The legacy Sun DHCP server daemon. The daemon is started when the system is started. You should not start the server daemon directly. Use DHCP Manager, the svcadm command, or dhcpconfig to start and stop the daemon. The daemon should be invoked directly only to run the server in debug mode to troubleshoot problems. For more information, see the in.dhcpd(1M) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: DHCP Manager, a graphical user interface (GUI) tool used to configure and manage the DHCP service. DHCP Manager is the recommended DHCP management tool. For more information, see the dhcpmgr(1M) man page.

The DHCP client daemon, which implements the client side of the DHCP protocol. For more information, see the dhcpagent(1M) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: Used to configure and unconfigure DHCP servers and BOOTP relay agents. Also used to convert to a different data store format, and to import and export DHCP configuration data. For more information, see the dhcpconfig(1M) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: Used by system startup scripts on Oracle Solaris client systems to obtain information (such as the host name) from the DHCP client daemon, dhcpagent. You can also use dhcpinfo in scripts or at the command line to obtain specified parameter values. For more information, see the dhcpinfo(1) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: Used to make changes to the options and macros in the dhcptab table. This command is most useful in scripts that you create to automate changes to your DHCP information. Use dhtadm with the -P option, and pipe the output through the grep command for a quick way to search for particular option values in the dhcptab table. For more information, see the dhtadm(1M) man page.

Used at system boot to assign IP addresses to network interfaces, configure network interface parameters, or both. On a DHCP client, ipadm starts DHCP to get the parameters (including the IP address) needed to configure a network interface. For more information, see the ipadm(1M) man page.

ISC DHCP only: Provides a way to query and change the ISC DHCP server's state by using the Object Management API (OMAPI). For more information, see the omshell(1) man page.

Legacy Sun DHCP only: Used to make changes to the DHCP network tables that map client IDs to IP addresses and optionally associate configuration information with IP addresses. For more information, see the pntadm(1M) man page.

Used to capture and display the contents of packets being passed across the network. snoop is useful for troubleshooting problems with the DHCP service. For more information, see the snoop(1M) man page.
