...

The DHCP provider is implemented plugin into the ApacheDS network layer (MINA). As a plugin, DHCP leverages Apache MINA for front-end services and the Apache Directory read-optimized backing store via JNDI for a persistent store.

The ApacheDS DHCP plugin, in conjunction with MINA and the Apache Directory store, provides an easy-to-use yet fully-featured dynamic configuration service. As implemented within the Apache Directory, DHCP will provide:

  • DHCP service (RFC 2131, 2132)
  • Vendor extensions (RFC 1497)
  • Service Location Protocol (SLP) support (RFC 2608)
  • Optional LDAP management
  • UDP and TCP Support (MINA)
  • Easy POJO embeddability for containers such as Geronimo, JBoss, and OSGi
