DHCP SERVER

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

This server is used to allocate the IP ADDRESS dynamically for the hosts connected to this server

PACKAGE REQUIRED : dhcp

yum list dhcp

IF THE RPM IS NOT INSTALLED THEN USING YUM TO INSTALL

yum install dhcp

STEP 1: Copy the sample file and rename it

cd /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.1/
cp dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf

STEP 2: Edit the configuration file as follows

vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

option routers 192.168.0.254;


option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

option domain-name "linux.com";


option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.254;

if we want to allocate IP dynamically then do the following:

range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.225;


default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
if we want to specify a particular HOSTNAME should have to assign a same IP then do the following:

host station201 {
next-server station201.linux.com;
hardware ethernet 00:50:FC:2A:AB:9D;
fixed-address 192.168.0.201;
}
:wq
STEP 3: To enable the services
service dhcpd start/restart/reload
chkconfig dhcpd on
