Installation

Make sure you have Rust installed. If not, install it from https://www.rust-lang.org/.

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/pj1234678/RustyDHCP.git

Build the server:
```
cd rusty-dhcp
cargo build --release
```

Usage

Start the DHCP server:
```
sudo ./target/release/rusty-dhcp
```
The server will listen on the default DHCP ports (67 and 68) and start serving DHCP requests.
Make DHCP requests from clients, and the server will respond with IP addresses and other configuration details.

Configuration

To configure the server, edit the following fields in the examples/server.rs file:

// Server configuration
const SERVER_IP: Ipv4Addr = Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 2, 1);
const IP_START: [u8; 4] = [192, 168, 2, 2];
const SUBNET_MASK: Ipv4Addr = Ipv4Addr::new(255, 255, 255, 0);
const DNS_IPS: [Ipv4Addr; 1] = [
    // Google DNS servers
    Ipv4Addr::new(8, 8, 8, 8),
];
const ROUTER_IP: Ipv4Addr = Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 2, 1);
const BROADCAST_IP: Ipv4Addr = Ipv4Addr::new(192, 168, 2, 255);
const LEASE_DURATION_SECS: u32 = 86400;
const LEASE_NUM: u32 = 252;

You can customize these configuration parameters according to your network requirements.
