From the Back Cover
The definitive guide to connecting your LAN to the Internet with DHCP.
With DHCP, network administrators can automatically, remotely configure every desktop in the enterprise for Internet access. Now, there's a complete guide to DHCP--how it works, how to use it, and where it's headed. Networking expert Berry Kercheval starts with an exceptionally easy-to-understand explanation of this powerful protocol. You'll learn how DHCP works from both the client's and server's point of view. You'll master DHCP's multiple configuration options, and choose the right ones for your network. And if you're a developer, you'll learn all you need to start building DHCP-based solutions. Coverage includes:

*Dynamic DNS, including essential security techniques, and new options such as client FQDN.

*Techniques for administering DHCP, including subnet and lease maintenance.

*Integrating DHCP with LDAP, IPv6 and other key Internet-related protocols.

Whether you run NT, UNIX or both, DHCP: A Guide to Dynamic TCP/IP Network Configuration will help you make the most of DHCP, now and in the future. Kercheval previews the latest DHCP extensions and proposals, including Secure DHCP and Reliable DHCP. You'll also find a comprehensive vendor guide, including both free and commercial DHCP suppliers. This book also contains the complete DHCP RFC documents.
If you manage Internet access in the enterprise, you need the in-depth understanding of DHCP that only one book delivers; Berry Kercheval's DHCP: A Guide to Dynamic TCP/IP Network Configuration.
