<h2>Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server Exit Programs</h2>
<p>The iSeries<SUP>(TM)</SUP> Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server assigns and
releases TCP/IP addresses from client hosts in a network. Exit points have been
provided so that user-written programs can be called from the running DHCP
server. They allow for customer-supplied security validation of incoming client
requests, as well as notification when IP addresses are assigned or
released.</p>
<p>The DHCP Request Packet Validation exit program allows for incoming client
request packets to be screened by a user program that starts any processing on
it. The user program is able to communicate back to the DHCP server that either
the packet should be discarded or that it should be allowed to process.</p>
<p>The Address Binding Notification exit program and the Address Release
Notification exit program are for notification purposes only. These allow for
user applications to keep track of which IP addresses are currently in use and
by which clients.</p>
<p>The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Server exit programs are:</p>
