9.2. Existing DHCP servers

Aptus server has DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) capabilities, Aptus is compatible with the old ISC DHCP daemon version 2 which comes with most of the Linux distribution. That means the old /etc/dhcpd.conf can be migrate to aptusd without modification. If you don't want to migrate your DHCP services to Aptus, Aptus clients and Aptus server can co-exists in the same network. You have to configure your DHCP server to reserve a subnet or range of IP address for your Aptus client, and configure your Aptus server to use that reserved segment of addresses. You can refer to the existing man 5 dhcpd.conf or man 5 aptusd.conf for more details of how to edit the configuration file.
