NAME

Net::ISC::DHCPd - Interacts with ISC DHCPd

VERSION

0.1707

SYNOPSIS

my $dhcpd = Net::ISC::DHCPd->new(
                config => { file => "path/to/config" },
                leases => { file => "path/to/leases" },
                omapi => { key => "some key" },
            );

$dhcpd->config->parse;

See the tests bundled to this distribution for more examples.

DESCRIPTION

This namespace contains three semi-separate projects, which this module binds together: dhcpd.conf, dhcpd.leases and omapi. It is written with Moose which provides classes and roles to represents things like a host, a lease or any other thing.

The distribution as a whole is targeted an audience who configure and/or analyze the Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server. If you are not familiar with the server, check out the man pages.

ATTRIBUTES

config

This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::Config object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor.

leases

This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::Leases object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor.

omapi

This attribute holds a read-only Net::ISC::DHCPd::OMAPI object. It can be set from the constructor, using either an object or a hash-ref. The hash-ref will then be passed on to the constructor.

binary

This attribute holds a Path::Class::File object to the dhcpd binary. It is read-only and the default is "dhcpd3".

errstr

Holds the last know error as a plain string. This only applies to OMAPI.

METHODS

parse

$config->parse;

This parses the config file or the leases file.

generate

print $config->generate;

This generates a copy of the config file in plaintext.

test

$bool = $self->test("config");
$bool = $self->test("leases");

Will test either the config or leases file. It returns a boolean value which indicates if it is valid or not: True means it is valid, while false means it is invalid. Check "errstr" on failure - it will contain a descriptive string from either this module, $! or the exit value (integer stored as a string).

SEE ALSO

Net::DHCP::Info

Net::DHCP::Info an older dhcpd.leases and dhcpd.conf parser, also written by Jan Henning Thorsen. It has many limitations that these modules address.

kea.isc.org

kea.isc.org a replacement DHCP server from ISC that is high-performance and supports an API and on-line configuration directly.
