dhclient - Development headers and libraries for interfacing to the DHCP server

Description:

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol which allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network
configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address,
etc.) from a DHCP server. The overall purpose of DHCP is to make it
easier to administer a large network.

To use DHCP on your network, install a DHCP service (or relay agent),
and on clients run a DHCP client daemon.  The dhclient package
provides the ISC DHCP client daemon.

Packages

- fix bug 181908: enable dhclient to operate on IBM zSeries z/OS linux guests:
  o add -I <dhcp-client-identifier> dhclient command line option
  o add -B "always broadcast" dhclient command line option
  o add 'bootp-broadcast-always;' dhclient.conf statement
