   1 odhcpd - Embedded DHCP/DHCPv6/RA Server & Relay
   2
   3 ** Abstract **
   4
   5 odhcpd is a daemon for serving and relaying IP management protocols to
   6 configure clients and downstream routers. It tries to follow the RFC 6204
   7 requirements for IPv6 home routers.
   8
   9 odhcpd provides server services for DHCP, RA, stateless and stateful DHCPv6,
  10 prefix delegation and can be used to relay RA, DHCPv6 and NDP between routed
  11 (non-bridged) interfaces in case no delegated prefixes are available.
  12
  13
  14 ** Features **
  15
  16 1. Router Discovery support (solicitations and advertisements) with 2 modes
  17    server:      RD server for slave interfaces
  18    a) automatic detection of prefixes, delegated prefix and default routes, MTU
  19    b) automatic reannouncement when changes to prefixes or routes occur
  20
  21    relay:       RD relay between master and slave interfaces
  22    a) support for rewriting announced DNS-server addresses in relay mode
  23
  24 2. DHCPv6-support with 2 modes of operation
  25    server: stateless, stateful and PD-server mode
  26    a) stateless and stateful address assignment
  27    b) prefix delegation support
  28    c) dynamic reconfiguration in case prefixes change
  29    d) hostname detection and hosts-file creation
  30
  31    relay:       mostly standards-compliant DHCPv6-relay
  32    a) support for rewriting announced DNS-server addresses
  33
  34 3. DHCPv4-support
  35    server: stateless and stateful mode
  36
  37 4. Proxy for Neighbor Discovery messages (solicitations and advertisments)
  38    a) support for auto-learning routes to the local routing table
  39    b) support for marking interfaces "external" not proxying NDP for them
  40       and only serving NDP for DAD and for traffic to the router itself
  41       [Warning: you should provide additional firewall rules for security]

  44 ** Compiling **
  45
  46 odhcpd uses cmake:
  47 * To prepare a Makefile use:  "cmake ."
  48 * To build / install use: "make" / "make install" afterwards.
  49 * To build DEB or RPM packages use: "make package" afterwards.

  51
  52 ** Configuration **
  53
  54 odhcpd uses a UCI configuration file in /etc/config/dhcp for configuration
  55 and may also receive information from ubus
