31.Sh DESCRIPTION
32Although
33.Nm dhcpcd
34can do everything from the command line, there are cases where it's just easier
cf42802e
RM
35to do it once in a configuration file.
36Most of the options found in
ba9dfb7a 37.Xr dhcpcd 8
cf42802e
RM
38can be used here.
39The first word on the line is the option and the rest of the line is the value.
40Leading and trailing whitespace for the option and value are trimmed.
41You can escape characters in the value using the \\ character.

45Here's a list of available options:

ba97e494
RM
47.It Ic allowinterfaces Ar pattern
48When discovering interfaces, the interface name must match
49.Ar pattern
50which is a space or comma separated list of patterns passed to
51.Xr fnmatch 3 .
52If the same interface is matched in
53.Ic denyinterfaces
54then it is still denied.
55.It Ic denyinterfaces Ar pattern
56When discovering interfaces, the interface name must not match
57.Ar pattern
58which is a space or comma separated list of patterns passed to
59.Xr fnmatch 3 .

60.It Ic arping Ar address Op address
61.Nm dhcpcd

6f767217

63If an address is found, we will select the replying hardware address as the
64profile, otherwise the ip address.
65Example:

73Authenticate DHCP messages.
0dc49454 74See the Supported Authentication Protocols section.
c73ed171
RM
75.It Ic authtoken Ar secretid Ar realm Ar expire Ar key
76Define a shared key for use in authentication.
77.Ar realm can be "" to for use with the
78.Ar delayed
79prptocol.
80.Ar expire
81is the date the token expires and should be formatted "yyy-mm-dd HH:MM".
82You can use the keyword
83.Ar forever
84or
85.Ar 0
86which means the token never expires.
0dc49454
RM
87For the token protocol,
88.Ar secretid
89needs to be 0 and
90.Ar realm
91needs to be "".
92If
93.Nm dhcpcd
94has the error
95.D1 dhcp_auth_encode: Invalid argument
96then it means that
97.Nm dhcpcd
98could not find the correct authentication token in your configuration.
bac03ede
RM
99.It Ic background
100Background immediately.
101This is useful for startup scripts which don't disable link messages for
102carrier status.

6f767217 105.Ar address Ns Op /cidr .

109.Ic blacklist
110is ignored if
111.Ic whitelist
112is set.
8f924434
RM
113.It Ic bootp
114Be a BOOTP client.
115Basically, this just doesn't send a DHCP Message Type option and will only
116interact with a BOOTP server.
117All other DHCP options still work.
900b3da4
RM
118.It Ic broadcast
119Instructs the DHCP server to broadcast replies back to the client.
120Normally this is only set for non Ethernet interfaces,
121such as FireWire and InfiniBand.
122In most cases,
123.Nm dhcpcd
124will set this automatically.
a93e79c6
RM
125.It Ic controlgroup Ar group
126Sets the group ownership of
127.Pa @RUNDIR@/dhcpcd.sock
128so that users other than root can connect to
129.Nm dhcpcd .
a3099289

132.It Ic dev Ar value

136management module.
137.Nm dhcpcd
138will load the first one found to work, if any.

RM
139.It Ic env Ar value
140Push
141.Ar value
142to the environment for use in
143.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8 .
144For example, you can force the hostname hook to always set the hostname with
145.Ic env
146.Va force_hostname=YES .
bbd250b4
RM
147Or set which driver
148.Xr wpa_supplicant 8
149should use with

151.Va wpa_supplicant_driver=nl80211
77961e7b
RM
152.Pp
153If the hostname is set, will be will set to the FQDN if possible as per
154RFC 4702 section 3.1.
155If the FQDN option is missing,
156.Nm dhcpcd
157will still try and set a FQDN from the hostname and domain options for
158consistency.
159To override this, set
160.Ic env
161.Va hostname_fqdn=[YES|NO|SERVER] .
162A value of server means just what the server says, don't manipulate it.
163This could lead to an inconsistent hostname on a DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 network
164where the DHCPv4 hostname is short and the DHCPv6 has an FQDN.
165DHCPv6 has no hostname option.
d2616b08 166.It Ic clientid Ar string
c989b023

167Send the

d2616b08 169If the string is of the format 01:02:03 then it is encoded as hex.
3faba9e6
RM
170For interfaces whose hardware address is longer than 8 bytes, or if the
171.Ar clientid
172is an empty string then
173.Nm dhcpcd
174sends a default
175.Ar clientid
176of the hardware family and the hardware address.

181.Re
ebc9d360 182compliant DHCP Unique Identifier.
7e068c85
RM
183If persistent storage is available then a DUID-LLT (link local address + time)
184is generated, otherwise DUID-LL is generated (link local address).
ebc9d360
RM
185This, plus the IAID will be used as the
186.Ic clientid .
7e068c85 187The DUID-LLT generated will be held in
d2616b08
RM
188.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.duid
189and should not be copied to other hosts.
ebc9d360
RM
190.It Ic iaid Ar iaid
191Set the Interface Association Identifier to
192.Ar iaid .
9ff636a5
RM
193This option must be used in an
194.Ic interface
195block.
6f66c6c9
RM
196This defaults to the last 4 bytes of the hardware address assigned to the
197interface.
198Each instance of this should be unique within the scope of the client and
199.Nm dhcpcd
200warns if a conflict is detected.
201If there is a conflict, it is only a problem if the conflicted IAIDs are
202used on the same network.
94bec972
RM
203.It Ic dhcp

211.It Ic persistent
212.Nm dhcpcd
213normally de-configures the interface and configuration when it exits.
214Sometimes, this isn't desirable if, for example, you have root mounted over
a544b76a
RM
215NFS or SSH clients connect to this host and they need to be notified of
216the host shutting down.
15fc1181 217You can use this option to stop this from happening.
ff021b0b
RM
218.It Ic fallback Ar profile
219Fallback to using this profile if DHCP fails.
220This allows you to configure a static profile instead of using ZeroConf.
ba9dfb7a 221.It Ic hostname Ar name
35d02ae6 222Sends
ff021b0b 223.Ar hostname
35d02ae6
RM
224to the DHCP server so it can be registered in DNS.
225If
35ff0dbb 226.Ar hostname
35d02ae6
RM
227is an empty string then the current system hostname is sent.
228If
229.Ar hostname
230is a FQDN (ie, contains a .) then it will be encoded as such.
d6a18654
RM
231.It Ic hostname_short
232Sends the short hostname to the DHCP server instead of the FQDN.
233This is useful because DHCP servers will not register the FQDN in their
234DNS if the domain part does not match theirs.
77961e7b
RM
235.Pp
236Also, see the
237.Ic env

260block.
94a79cea
RM
261Unless a
262.Ar sla_id
263of 0 is assigned, a reject route is installed for the Delegated Prefix to
264stop unallocated addresses being resolved upstream.
22ea2b0d
RM
265If no
266.Ar interface
94a79cea 267is given then we will assign a prefix to every other interface with a
22ea2b0d 268.Ar sla_id
94a79cea 269equivalent to the interface index assigned by the OS.
22ea2b0d 270Otherwise addresses are only assigned for each
00ababe4
RM
271.Ar interface
272and
9ff636a5 273.Ar sla_id .
94a79cea 274Each assigned address will have a suffix of 1.

304In the following example eth0 is the externally facing interface to be

306The DHCPv4 server will provide us with an IPv4 address and a default route.
307The DHCPv6 server is going to provide us with an IPv6 address, a default
308route and a /64 subnet to be delegated to the internal interface.
309The eth1 interface will be automatically configured
310for IPv6 using the first address (::1) from the delegated prefix.

347By default, when

d7555c12 359.It Ic ipv6ra_own_default
eebe9a18
RM
360Each time dhcpcd receives an IPv6 Router Adveristment, dhcpcd will manage
361the default route only.
362This allows dhcpcd to prefer an interface for outbound traffic based on metric
363and/or user selection rather than the kernel.
4f0240bf 364.It Ic ipv6ra_accept_nopublic
a8e5259b 365Some IPv6 routers advertise themselves as a default router without any
4f0240bf 366public prefixes or managed addresses.

367Generally, this is incorrect behaviour and

507to skip the REBOOT phase and go straight into DISCOVER.
508This is desirable for mobile users because if you change from network A to
509network B and they use the same subnet and the address from network A isn't
510in use on network B, then the DHCP server will remain silent even if authorative
