    v1.0.0 — first public release Stable

    Engelgardt23 released this 2026-05-16 00:47:52 +03:00 | 17 commits to main since this release

    First public release.

    What it is

    A tiny portable DHCP server for the laptop of a storage/server engineer.
    Plug a cable into a server's BMC/host port (or into a switch), double-click
    dhcpsrv.exe, pick the NIC — the box gets an IP, you see it pop up in the
    live table.

    Highlights

    • Single .exe, ~12 MB, no Python required on the target machine.
    • One question at startup: which network adapter to use.
    • Defaults: server 10.10.10.1/24, pool 10.10.10.2..10.10.10.51
      (50 addresses), lease 7200 s, TFTP option (66/150) = server IP.
    • Live TUI (rich):
      • header with server config + counters (Leases used / Pkts / DISCOVER /
        REQUEST / RELEASE);
      • clients table with #, IP, Hostname, MAC, Last seen, Ping;
      • rolling events panel.
    • Event-driven UI — no flicker on resize.
    • Reliable ping — uses the TTL= marker so a real BMC reboot is
      reflected as red --.
    • Filters out wireless / VPN / virtual adapters from the picker.

    Install

    Unzip, double-click dhcpsrv.exe, accept UAC, pick a NIC.
    Ctrl+C to stop; you'll be asked whether to revert the NIC to DHCP.
