    How to Configure DHCP Server

    on CentOS/RHEL 7/6/5
    DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used for
    assigning IP address to network clients dynamically from a predefined IP
    pool. It is useful for LAN network, but not generally used for production
    servers. This article will help you for Configuring DHCP Server on CentOS, Red
    Hat System. Read more about dhcp here.

    Install DHCP Package


    First install DHCP packages using yum package manager on CentOS, Red Hat
    systems. DHCP rpms are available under base repositories, so we don’t need
    to add an extra repository.

    yum install dhcp

    Update /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd File


    Firstly we need to set ethernet interface name as DHCPDARGS
    in /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd file. Edit this configuration file and update the
    ethernet name.

    DHCPDARGS=eth1

    Configure DHCP Server


    DHCP creates an empty configuration file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf. Also it
    provides a sample configuration file
    at /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample, which is very useful for
    configuring the DHCP server.
    So as a first part, copy the content of sample configuration file to the main
    configuration file. Sample configuration file may be changed as perversion
    you have installed on your system.

    # cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-4.1.1/dhcpd.conf.sample
    /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

    3.1 – Parameter Configuration


    First configure the basic options which is common to all supported networks.

    option domain-name "tecadmin.net";

    option domain-name-servers ns1.tecadmin.net, ns2.tecadmin.net;

    default-lease-time 600;

    max-lease-time 7200;

    authoritative;
    log-facility local7;

    3.2 – IP Subnet Declaration


    First, edit DHCP configuration file and update subnet details as per your
    network. For this example we are configuring DHCP for 192.168.1.0/24 LAN
    network.

    subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

    option routers 192.168.1.254;

    option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

    option domain-search "tecadmin.net";

    option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

    option time-offset -18000; # Eastern


    Standard Time

    range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;

    3.3 -Assign Static IP Address to Host


    In some cases, we need to assign a fixed IP to an interface each time it
    requested from dhcp. We can also assign a fixed IP on basis of MAC address
    (hardware ethernet) of that interface. Setup host-name is optional to set up.

    host station1 {

    option host-name "station1.example.com";

    hardware ethernet 00:11:1A:2B:3C:AB;


    fixed-address 192.168.1.100;

    Start DHCP Service


    After making all above changes, let’s start dhcp service using following
    commands as per your operating system version.

    For CentOS/RHEL 7

    systemctl start dhcp

    For CentOS/RHEL 6/5

    service dhcp start

    Similarly to stop and restart dhcp service use following commands.

    For CentOS/RHEL 7

    systemctl stop dhcp

    ystemctl restart dhcp

    For CentOS/RHEL 6/5

    service dhcp stop

    service dhcp restart


    Step 5: Setup Client System
    At this stage we have a running dhcp server which is ready for accepting
    requests and assign them a proper ip. but to verify I have another CentOS
    machine running on same LAN. Now login to that client machine and edit
    Ethernet configuration file.

    vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

    DEVICE=eth1

    BOOTPROTO=dhcp

    TYPE=Ethernet

    ONBOOT=yes

    Make sure BOOTPROTO is set to dhcp.


    Let’s restart network services on the client machine. You will get that dhcp
    server assigned an ip address from the defined subnet. If you have connected
    to client pc from remote login, Your session can be disconnected.

    For CentOS/RHEL 7

    systemctl restart network

    For CentOS/RHEL 6/5

    service network restart
