Welcome to the DHCP Server for Windows
A DHCP Server assigns IP addresses to client computers. This is very often used in enterprise networks to reduce configuration efforts. All IP addresses of all computers are stored in a database that resides on a server machine. What is considered an app on my mac storage.
This is a very simple and easy to use implementation of a DHCP Server for Windows based systems supporting all Windows operating systems from Windows 98 to Windows 10.
Dhcp Server Enable Or Disable
The configuration data as well as the client “database” is kept in an INI file. See description of INI file. The DHCP Server runs instantly without any installation as a service or application. See running the DHCP Server
All older versions of the DHCP Server are free software and can be used and redistributed for both academic and commercial purposes at absolutely no cost. There are no royalties or GNU-like “copyleft” restrictions. There is no requirements such as including copyright messages or logos involved in using the software. The latest software starting with Version 2.6 can be downloaded after a donation is made. The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind. The download link is provided by e-mail to the Paypal-registered e-mail address, to anyone who at least donates 1 EUR or more.

I don't know how well it will interface with your router, but if you have an Apple Airport router, it is decently easy to forward the DCHP requests to the server.

No Apple code was harmed during the production of this utility.
Ever since Mac OS X Server was introduced, Apple have included a DHCP Server. This was and still is based on the open-source bootpd server. This article is not intended to discuss the purpose of a DHCP server, for that you might want to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhcp.
Mac Os Server Setup
While the original open-source bootpd server has the capability to define additional fields of information (via DHCP option fields) that can be provided via DHCP to clients, the version included with Mac OS X 10.4.11 Server and earlier did not support this. After several years of my and presumably others submitting requests for this feature, this was finally added to Mac OS X 10.5 Server. The overwhelming majority of router based DHCP servers do not have the ability to define DHCP option fields.
Note: This is a facility Microsoft have provided since at least Windows 2000 Server.

Powershell Mac Address From Dhcp
So, Apple finally introducing the ability to define DHCP option fields in Mac OS X 10.5 Server was good news. Unfortunately, Apple did not and still does not even in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Server, provide a user friendly method for defining these values which are stored as Base64 encoded data values in the /etc/bootpd.plist configuration file. Thanks to the efforts of myself and others, the method of generating and encoding values has now been sufficiently deciphered that I am now able to create and provide a simple utility with a graphical user interface that mere mortals can use to generate any required DHCP option field. Here is what it looks like…It can be downloaded free of charge from -
DHCP Option Code Utility
If you don’t feel comfortable editing Unix configuration files like /etc/bootpd.plist then I advise you don’t try doing this. If you have not already, I advise reading the Unix man page for “bootpd” on your Mac OS X 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8 server. This is done in the Terminal.app by typing “man bootpd”.
Update: DHCP Option Code Utility 1.1 has the following improvements.
- It now works under Mountain Lion properly (1.0 worked from Tiger to Lion), this was due to a change Apple made
- It now can generate null-terminated strings as well as normal strings, null-terminated strings are used for example to define PXE boot servers in DHCP Option Code 67
- It is now more forgiving on the format of text entered for hexadecimal values and will happily ignore spaces, colons, and dashes making it simpler to just paste a value in
