2.3. Configuring the DHCP Server¶

To configure the DHCP server, do the following:

1. Make sure the DHCP server package is installed:

   # 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:

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

   • For installation on EFI-based client servers:

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

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

   # systemctl start dhcpd.service
   

   Or restart the existing DHCP server:

   # systemctl restart dhcpd.service
