Easy Understanding - DHCP Server Configuration

Wow!!! One of my all time favorite server services. I simply love it.

DHCP Server in easy steps:
Step 1: Download the binaries and the isc dhcp package from the ubuntu universe.
[root@localhost~:]#apt-get install dhcp3-server
This will install the dhcp server as a service in the ubuntu server. Once installed, you can verify the dhcp service as:
[root@localhost~:]#/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server

Step 2: Edit the file dhcpd.conf.
[root@localhost~:]#vi /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

This image is self explanatory. Apart from this, there are some other information which needs to be configured. Please find the snap.

Are we done.....oops I bind specify which ethernet card will server the dhcp server request to the client in a multi-homed nic environment. Here it is:

Edit the file /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

Step 3: Restart the dhcp server daemon.
[root@localhost~:]#/etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart

Cheers
