IBM Redbooks

AS/400^® TCP/IP Autoconfiguration: DNS and DHCP Support (5181 KB)

This redbook describes the Domain Name System (DNS) server and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server support that are included in i5/OS^®. The information in this redbook helps you install, tailor, configure, and troubleshoot the DNS and DHCP support through examples.

This redbook has not been updated to include the new BIND 8 features, including dynamic updates, that are available for V5R1. However, it is a good reference for general DNS and DHCP concepts.
