DHCP Server
A temporary DHCP server for staging equipment on an isolated link.
The device needs an address before it will talk to you and there is no DHCP on this segment.
CySecTek
Set a pool, a lease time, a gateway and DNS, bind it to one interface and start it. Leases appear as they are handed out, with the MAC that asked and the name it gave.
Like the TFTP server, it is deliberately temporary: started for a job, stopped afterwards, nothing left installed.
What you walk away with
- Equipment addressed on a bench or an isolated link
- Visible leases with MAC and hostname
- Nothing left running on the machine afterwards
Where it stops
Stated here rather than discovered on site.
- A second DHCP server on a live network hands out addresses that conflict with the real one. Bind it to the isolated interface and be certain which one that is.
- No reservations, no DHCP options beyond gateway and DNS, no relay support.
