DHCP Configuration in Linux (Redhat or Centos 6)



                         DHCP(Dynamically Host Configuration Protocol)

  dhcp provide a method for hosts on a network to request and be granted,configuration information including the address of routers and nameservers
      Ipv4 addresses are either dynamically assigned from a range of address and netmask,its default gateway  .Domain name and dns server,timeserver,and location of kickstart conf.files

service profile:

type :SysteV-managed service
package:dhcp
Daemon: /usr/sbin/dhcpd
script : /etc/init.d/dhcpd
ports : 67(bootps), 68 (bootpc)
conf.file: /etc/dhcpd.conf,/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases
related: dhclient,dhcpv6-client,dhcpv6


steps to configure dhcp server:

#yum install dhcpd-* -y
#service dhcpd start
#chkconfig dhcpd on
#cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.5/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
# vi /etc/dhcpd.conf
(change as follows)

ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
        option routers                  192.168.0.254; (server ip)
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;  (subnetmask)

        option nis-domain               "domain.org";
        option domain-name              "redhat.com";   (domain name)
        option domain-name-servers      192.168.0.254;   (dns ip)

        option time-offset              -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
#       option ntp-servers              192.168.1.1;
#       option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
#       option netbios-node-type 2;

        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.20; (ip range)
        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

save & quit
#service dhcpd restart
if you want to give a specific ip for a system

at the end of the file specify as follows

host station1
            { hardware ethernet 00:a0:cc:3d:45:3e
 
              fixed address 192.168.0.10;
             }
}
         (here in this example we are providing 192.168.0.10 for a specific system we have to type mac address of that system at hardware ethernet)
