# Steward
*Every Hold has a steward at the door; this one gives each newcomer an address.*
Steward is a DHCPv4 server you configure through a web UI, a REST API and
a command line client, all three backed by the same API. It is the
companion of [Jarl](https://gitea.adbraun.lol/adam/jarl), the BIND manager,
and works the same way: every change is checked as a whole before it is
used, is recorded in a history where it can be undone, and is audited.
In Skyrim, the Jarl's steward runs the hold's daily business, keeping the
keys among other things. Steward hands out the hold's addresses.
In Skyrim, a steward greets whoever comes to the door and sees to their
needs. Steward is the first thing a device meets when it joins your
network: it greets it, gives it an address, and tells it the way around
(the router, the DNS servers).
## What it does
