Udhcpc is a very small DHCP client program geared towards embedded systems. The program accepts all options on the command line, and calls external scripts to handle the configuration of interfaces. Udhcp was originally developed in 1999 by Matthew Ramsay and distributed under the GNU GPL by Moreton Bay.

What is DHCP client?
A DHCP client is an Internet host using DHCP to obtain configuration parameters such as an IP address. The client, Host A, sends a DHCPDISCOVER broadcast message to locate a DHCP server.
What is Dnsmasq service?
dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder, designed to provide DNS (and optionally DHCP and TFTP) services to a small-scale network. dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local cache or forwards them to a real, recursive DNS server.
What is Udhcpd conf?
DESCRIPTION. The file /etc/udhcpd. conf contains configuration information specific to the udhcp server. It should contain one configuration keyword per line, followed by appropriate configuration information.
When should I use DHCP?
The primary reason DHCP is needed is to simplify the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, and configuring them manually will likely lead to errors.
What is DHCP IP setting?
A DHCP server dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters to each device on a network so they can communicate with other IP networks. DHCP is an enhancement of an older protocol called BOOTP.
