Configuring the DHCP Server

To configure the DHCP server, do the following:

1. Make sure the DHCP server package is installed:

   1	# yum install dhcp

2. Add the following lines to the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf (or /etc/dhcpd.conf):

   • For installation on BIOS-based client servers:

     1 2	next-server <TFTP_server_IP_address>; filename "/pxelinux.0";

   • For installation on EFI-based client servers:

     1 2	next-server <TFTP_server_IP_address>; filename "/grubx64.efi";

3. Start the DHCP server if you installed it in step 1:

   1	# systemctl start dhcpd.service

   Or restart the existing DHCP server:

   1	# systemctl restart dhcpd.service
