1. OS system version
[root@server ~]# more /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
2. Check whether the system has installed DHCP server software
[root@server ~]# rpm -qa | grep dhcp
dhcpv6_client-0.10-14_EL4
3. Mount the CD and install the DHCP server software
[root@server ~]# mount /media/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
[root@server RPMS]# find /media/cdrom -name "dhcp*"
/media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcpv6-0.10-14_EL4.i386.rpm
/media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcpv6_client-0.10-14_EL4.i386.rpm
/media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcp-3.0.1-58.EL4.i386.rpm
/media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcp-devel-3.0.1-58.EL4.i386.rpm
[root@server RPMS]# rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/dhcp-3.0.1-58.EL4.i386.rpm
[root@server RPMS]# rpm -qa | grep dhcp
dhcp-3.0.1-58.EL4
dhcpv6_client-0.10-14_EL4
The installation has been successful here, haha
4. Check to see if there are any files
[root@server RPMS]# rpm -ql grep dhcp
...

5. [root@server RPMS]# more /etc/dhcpd.conf
Is there anything interesting here? Let’s COPY the template file.
[root@server RPMS]# cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0.1/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf
6. View the configuration file and change it according to your requirements
[root@server RPMS]# more /etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# --- default gateway
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
# option nis-domain "domain.org";
option domain-name "wiscom.com.cn";
option domain-name-servers 219.141.136.10,211.147.6.3;
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 192.168.0.128 192.168.0.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
# we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
host ns {
next-server marvin.redhat.com;
hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
}
}
The above is very clear, everything that needs to be configured has been configured.
7. Start the DHCP server
[root@server RPMS]# service dhcpd start
Starting dhcpd: [ OK ]
8. Check the log to see if there are any errors.
[root@server RPMS]# tail -20 /var/log/messages
