32.12. Summary
This chapter has introduced the DHCP protocol and the common ISC DHCP server for UNIX systems. It has explained how you can use Webmin to configure the server to automatically assign dynamic or fixed IP addresses to clients on your network and how to set options that apply to single hosts, groups of hosts, or entire subnets. Even though not all of the module's features are covered, after reading the chapter you should know enough to set up a DHCP server for a typical network.
