Equivalent of Linux's "send host-name" DHCP parameter?
807557Oct 12 2007 — edited Oct 16 2007Solaris 10 08/2007 and am trying to reproduce the behavior of Linux's DHCP client. You can specify an option DHCP_HOSTNAME in its network interface config file which results in a parameter "send host-name <hostname>" being appended to the dhclient.conf file. The DHCP client (dhclient) then sends this to the DHCP server and the DHCP server updates a DNS record somewhere assigning the hostname to the IP address assigned to the DHCP client.
The REQUEST_HOSTNAME parameter in Solaris doesn't appear to be quite the same thing. It looks as if it asks for an IP that is already assigned to the requested hostname.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I can reproduce the behavior of the Linux machine above?
Ultimately I want to be able to move this machine from network to network and have it always be accessible via its hostname regardless of what IP is assigned to it. All of our Windows and Linux machines support this.
Thanks in advance!
