DHCP / Proxy

The network department offers a central DHCP service within the university.

Via Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), computers can be automatically configured for existing networks. This means that IP-address, network mast, gateway, and DNS server are steered through the DHCP server. Clients merely need to allow for the automatic access of IP-addresses.

Additional functionalities:

automatical configuration of a web-proxy via WPAD
booting of live systems via PXE
administration of Sun Ray Clients

DHCP Management-Interface
