Welcome to the DHCP 2.0 software!



Installing the Product:
================================================
A.	First copy this file to a temporary working directory.

B.	Next PKUNZIP this file using the -d option!  This will maintain
	the directory structure of the included files.

C.	Copy the files over to a blank formated 1.4 Meg. 3.5" diskette.

D.	DOS LABEL THE DISKETTE:  DHCPSRVR

E.      Save the following files before you install DHCP Server.
	We recommend that you save the following files in a seperate
	directory as DHCP Server v2.0  could possibly install later 
	versions of the NLMs and MSG files.

		TCPIP.NLM
		TCPIP.MSG
		TUI.NLM
		TUI.MSG
		SNMP.NLM
		SNMP.MSG
		SNMPLOG.NLM
		SNMPLOG.MSG
		CSLSTUB.NLM
		NETDB.NLM


You can then use the NetWare INSTALL utility to install the DHCP 2.0.

  1. At the console prompt, type

     LOAD INSTALL <Enter>

  2. From "Installation Options," choose "Product Options."

  3. From "Other Installation Action," choose "View/Configure/Remove 
	installed products."

  4. Press <Ins> to install the DHCP product from the floppy (from drive
	A: or B:).



(1). Compatibility with MPR 2.0, MPR 2.1 and MPR 2.11
     ------------------------------------------------

DHCP Server v2.0 is not compatible with MPR 2.0, 2.1 or 2.11. You
need to upgrade to a later version (MPR 3.0 or MPR 3.1) to use DHCP
Server.



(2). Compatibility with BOOTPD
     -------------------------
You need to unload BOOTPD.NLM, LWGCON.NLM, LWGIO.NLM before you
install DHCP Server. DHCP Server provides BOOTP functionality
also and in essence obsoletes BOOTPD.NLM.

DHCPSRVR.NLM and BOOTPD.NLM will not run together on the same 
Server.



(3). BOOTPTAB file
     -------------
The DHCP Server install program copies the SYS:\ETC\BOOTPTAB
file in to SYS:\ETC\DHCPTAB file. Please do not manually edit
this file. After the installation is completed, load DHCPCFG.NLM
and ensure that all the earlier BOOTP records have been copied
properly.



(4). Compatibility with DHCPD.NLM
     ----------------------------
DHCP Server v2.0 is a LAN version only. Do not load DHCP
Server v2.0 and DHCPD.NLM released through NetWare Connect on the
same server.



(5). WAN Boards
     ----------
DHCP Server v2.0 will ignore any IP addresses bound to WAN
boards.



(6). Configuration changes
     ---------------------
If you bind any new IP address on the server after DHCPIO.NLM
has been loaded and if would use the DHCP Server to distribute
the IP addresses on the newly bound IP address's subnet, then
you need to use DHCPCFG.NLM to manually configure the subnet
profile.



(7). Configure Workstation Address Assignment Mode
     ---------------------------------------------
In DHCPIO.NLM, there is a load line option(-m) that you can use to
configure workstation address assignment mode.

Load dhcpio -m<mode>

where mode is:

DeleteDuplicate =  If a workstation was in subnet A, it moves to subnet 
                   B later. When workstation sends out request from 
                   subnet B, dhcpsrvr.nlm will delete the address of 
                   that workstation in subnet A, and reassigned a new 
                   address to it in subnet B.

YesDuplicate    =  If a workstation moves from subnet to subnet, 
                   dhcpsrvr.nlm will give out an address to it in 
                   every subnet when it is available.

NoDuplicate     =  If a workstation moves from subnet A to subnet B, 
                   before the address in subnet A is deleted(bootp case) 
                   or expired(dhcp case), dhcpsrvr.nlm will drop the 
                   request. 

For Ex. : load -mYesDuplicate



(8). Host name support in DHCP Server Console
     ----------------------------------------
There is currently a limitation in the DHCP Server Console such
that it would not support host name in the fields Primary DSS,
Preferred DSS and Nearest Servers.  You will need to use IP
address or subnetwork address for these fields.
