KanREN DHCP Seminar Day 1: Installing and Configuring the ISC DHCP Server

Install and perform a basic setup of the Internet Systems Consortium's DHCP server.

Please bring a notebook/laptop computer to use as a DHCP client. (Internet access will be available, so you can keep in touch with your campus.) Server hardware running OpenBSD will be provided, although you're welcome to bring your own server running Linux, BSD, or other Unix operating system. The ISC server runs on Unix(-like) operating systems, so basic familiarity with the Unix shell will be helpful.

If you already have experience with the ISC server, you'll probably prefer to arrive on Day 2.
