BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
interfaces, and DNS tools.
BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9. BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python
and provides a modular environment for serving and maintaining DNS.

+ can be described as an early prototype that is not yet fully
+ functional. It is mature enough to conduct first tests in lab
+ environment, but it has significant limitations. See <a class="xref" href="#dhcp4-limit" title="DHCPv4 Server Limitations">the section called “DHCPv4 Server Limitations”</a> for details.
+ </p><p>
+ DHCPv4 server is implemented as <span class="command"><strong>b10-dhcp4</strong></span>
+ daemon. As it is configurable yet, it is fully autonomous,
+ i.e. it does not interact with <span class="command"><strong>b10-cfgmgr</strong></span>.
+ To start DHCPv4 server, simply input:
+
+ </p><pre class="screen">
+#<strong class="userinput"><code>cd src/bin/dhcp4</code></strong>
+#<strong class="userinput"><code>./b10-dhcp4</code></strong>
+</pre><p>
+
+ Depending on your installation, <span class="command"><strong>b10-dhcp4</strong></span>
+ binary may reside in src/bin/dhcp4 in your source code
+ directory, in /usr/local/bin/b10-dhcp4 or other directory
+ you specified during compilation.
+
+ Afre start, server will detect available network interfaces
+ and will attempt to open UDP sockets on all interfaces that
+ are up, running, are not loopback and have IPv4 address
+ assigned.
+
+ Server will then listen to incoming traffic. Currently
+ supported client messages are DISCOVER and REQUEST. Server
+ will respond to them with OFFER and ACK, respectively.
+
+ As DHCPv4 server opens privileged ports, it requires root
+ access. Make sure you run this daemon as root.

+ or any support for configuration, so every time the same set

+ will be assigned every time.
+ </p><p>
