Synopsis
dhcp enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated dhcp and dhclient packages are available.
Description
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration
information (IP address, subnet-mask, broadcast address, etc.) from a DHCP
server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it easier to administer a
large network. The dhcp package includes the ISC DHCP service daemon,
dhcpd, and a DHCP relay agent, dhcrelay, while the dhclient package
provides the ISC DHCP client daemon dhclient.
To use DHCP on your network, install the dhcp package, run the dhcpd or
dhcrelay daemon on a server, and on clients run the dhclient daemon.
This update provides an enhancement to the ISC DHCP client, dhclient,
to provide better support for DHCP clients running on IBM z/OS Linux
Guests :
o A new `-I <dhcp-client-identifier>' dhclient command line option
allows the dhcp client identifier option to be specified on the
command line. For clients such as z/OS Linux guests with the z/OS
`Layer 2 option', which do not have unique ethernet addresses, this
option must be sent to uniquely identify the client to the server.
The dhcp-client-identifier option can also be specified in
/etc/dhclient.conf or /etc/dhclient-${interface}.conf.
o A new `-B' dhclient command line option to make the client set the
bootp broadcast flag in the DHCPDISCOVER packet, so that the server
will send the DHCPOFFER and DHCPACK packets to the broadcast IP
address.
This is necessary on clients such as IBM z/OS Linux guests with the
z/OS `Layer 2 option', which share the same physical network interface,
and where unicast replies cannot be received until the virtual
per-client interface is configured with an IP address.
There is also a new 'bootp-broadcast-always;' dhclient.conf statement
that will also enable this flag.
Users of dhcp and dhclient should upgrade to these updated packages, which
add these enhancements.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
