| Summary: | Provides the dhclient ISC DHCP client daemon and dhclient-script. |
| Description: | DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a large network. To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent), and on clients run a DHCP client daemon. The dhclient package provides the ISC DHCP client daemon. |
