About

This is an incomplete DHCP Server that can run in any Windows edition.

It only supports DHCPv4 Discover/Request messages on Ethernet networks.

For more information about DHCP see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP.

Motivation

This was put together because the Hyper-V Default Switch comes with a DHCP service (managed by the Internet Connection Sharing service aka ICS) that cannot be configured and does not play well with Packer/Vagrant and VMs reboots.

This can be used as a DHCP server for the Packer/Vagrant at rgl/infra-toolbox, rgl/debian-vagrant, rgl/ubuntu-vagrant, and rgl/windows-vagrant.

Service Installation

In a elevated PowerShell session install the latest release of WinDHCP with, for example:

$releasesUrl = 'https://github.com/rgl/WinDHCP/releases'
$latestResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Headers @{Accept='application/json'} "$releasesUrl/latest"
$latestTag = $latestResponse.tag_name
$artifactUrl = "$releasesUrl/download/$latestTag/WinDHCP.zip"
$artifactPath = "$env:TEMP\WinDHCP.zip"
$installPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\WinDHCP"
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile($artifactUrl, $artifactPath)
[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory($artifactPath, $installPath)
&"$installPath\install.ps1" `
