Dora implements DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers and relay agents for assigning addresses, prefixes, and network configuration across routed networks. Dora combines flexible allocation policy, failover, dynamic DNS updates, persistent lease state, live management, lease-query support, and rich option handling in one DHCP distribution.
Dora is an enterprise-grade DHCP software distribution maintained as a DHCP reference implementation. Dora is free for commercial and personal use. It is packaged for Red Hat Enterprise Linux & clones, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Amazon Linux, and Azure Linux.
across routed networks
DHCPv4 and BOOTP
Serve IPv4 clients with dynamic or fixed addressing, lease-time controls, DHCP information service, and BOOTP compatibility.
- Dynamic pools and fixed host addresses
- Configurable lease, renewal, and rebinding behavior
- Static and dynamic BOOTP support
DHCPv6 addressing
Provide stateful IPv6 configuration for normal and temporary addresses, including fixed assignments and stateless information requests.
- IA_NA and IA_TA address allocation
- Fixed IPv6 host assignments and EUI-64 mode
- Rapid Commit and Information-request handling
IPv6 Prefix Delegation
Delegate IPv6 prefixes to downstream routers from managed prefix pools or fixed host declarations, with explicit lifetime and prefix-length policy.
- IA_PD pools and fixed delegated prefixes
- Preferred and valid lifetime controls
- Prefix-length preference and matching modes
DHCP relay
Forward DHCP and BOOTP traffic between client networks and upstream servers without deploying a DHCP server on every subnet.
- DHCPv4/BOOTP and DHCPv6 relay modes
- Multiple upstream and downstream interfaces
- Hop-count, interface, and relay-loop controls
and adapt service to each client
Flexible allocation
Model real network topology with shared networks, subnets, pools, hosts, groups, reservations, and scoped parameters.
- Shared networks, subnets, and address pools
- Fixed addresses, fixed prefixes, and reserved leases
- Per-pool allow, deny, and client-selection rules
Client classification
Classify clients from packet contents and relay metadata, then apply different allocation, option, or lease-limit policies to each population.
- Classes, subclasses, and automatically spawned subclasses
- Option, packet, hardware, and relay-data matching
- Per-class dynamic lease limits
Rich DHCP option framework
Deliver standard, vendor-specific, relay, and site-specific configuration, or define new typed option spaces for specialized equipment.
- Extensive DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 option catalogs
- Vendor-encapsulated and vendor-identifying options
- Custom option definitions, arrays, records, and encapsulation
Conditional automation
Use a rich expression language and lease lifecycle hooks to calculate values, vary configuration, log decisions, or invoke external automation.
if,elsif, andswitchcontrol flow- String, numeric, packet, and option expressions
- Commit, release, and expiry events with
execute()
and connected to the rest of the network
DHCPv4 server failover
Pair DHCPv4 servers so they coordinate lease ownership, balance normal traffic, and continue service through server outages.
- Primary and secondary failover peers
- Lease-state synchronization and load balancing
- Partner-down, recovery, and automatic state transitions
Dynamic DNS
Keep forward and reverse DNS synchronized with DHCP lease activity using client FQDN information and authenticated DNS UPDATEs.
- Forward and reverse IPv4/IPv6 DNS updates
- Standard and interim update schemes
- TSIG authentication with modern HMAC algorithms
Conflict prevention
Avoid handing out addresses that appear to be in use and quarantine declined or conflicting allocations until they can be safely reclaimed.
- ICMP Echo ping checks before DHCPv4 allocation
- Decline and abandoned-address tracking
- Configurable reclamation and reservation behavior
Persistent lease state
Record lease and server state durably so DHCP service can restart with its previous allocations, failover state, and dynamic configuration intact.
- Persistent DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 lease databases
- Append-style history with periodic compaction
- Failover and dynamic OMAPI object persistence
and support real access networks
Relay-agent intelligence
Preserve and add topology metadata used by access networks so servers can apply policy based on where a client actually connects.
- DHCPv4 Option 82 Circuit ID and Remote ID
- RFC 3527 Link Selection support
- DHCPv6 Interface-ID and relay-option access
Lease-query visibility
Allow explicitly authorized systems to query lease state without direct access to the server's lease database files.
- DHCPv4 lease queries by address or client identity
- DHCPv6 lease queries by address
- Denied by default unless policy explicitly enables queries
OMAPI runtime control
Inspect and modify selected live server objects over authenticated OMAPI connections using the bundled omshell client.
- Lease, host, group, and failover-state objects
- Create, update, and remove dynamic host/group state
- Authenticated remote management with refresh and delete operations
Network boot provisioning
Supply the boot-server, boot-file, TFTP, architecture, and vendor information needed by diskless systems and network boot environments.
- BOOTP
filename/next-serverprovisioning - PXE and vendor-specific DHCP option support
- DHCPv6 boot-file URL and parameter options

Note
Users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux clones such as Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, and Oracle Linux can use the Red Hat Enterprise Linux packages of the corresponding version and follow the corresponding installation instructions.
Warning
Amazon Linux and Azure Linux packages are currently alpha releases, i.e., they are published only for testing purposes. They have known outstanding issues due to idiosyncracies of these platforms, which may cause various functions to not work correctly or at all. We will remove this warning when these issues have been resolved.
Note
Raspberry Pi OS users can use the Debian arm64 packages of the corresponding Debian version (e.g., Trixie) and follow the corresponding installation instructions.
Dora is documented in the Dora User Manual, and manpages are provided for the Dora programs and their config files. The user manual and manpages are also included in the software packages.
