# mkdhcpserver(8)

create a DHCP server configuration file for use with SystemImager

## NAME

mkdhcpserver - create a DHCP server configuration file for use with SystemImager

## SYNOPSIS

**mkdhcpserver**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **mkdhcpserver** command.

**mkdhcpserver** is an interactive utility for creating a dhcpd configuration file for use with SystemImager.  It generates entries commonly needed in PXE configurations, and defines option-100. option-100 is passed to autoinstall clients in order to direct them to the image server they should use.

The PXE configuration that mkdhcpserver creates will work for most i386 clients, but will not work for machines of other architectures. Please see the SystemImager manual for instructions on configuring network boot for other supported architectures.

## OPTIONS

**mkdhcpserver** currently accepts no options.
