Foreword: DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocal, it makes it easy for computer network management. This paper is quickly learned to configure DHCP [experimental purpose] 1. Configure a DHCP server. 2. Use the client to test the DHCP server. [Experimental Requirements] 1. Two RH9.0 machines. 2. Machine 1, IP: 192.168.0.13. Machine 1 is a DNS server, a network name: Example.com, 192.168.0.1 Host called Server1,192.168.0.2 Host called Station2. [Experimental Step] 1. Machine 1 Up, check and install the DHCP package. 2. Machine 1, the document copy of the DHCPD, copying an example. Cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0pl1/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf3. Machine 1, edit /etc/dhcpd.conf content is as follows: DDNS-Update-Style Interim; ignore client-updates Subnet 192.168.0.0 Netmask 255.255.255.0 {# --- Default GatewayOption Routers 192.168.0.1; Option Subnet-Mask 255.255.255.0; #boption nis-domain "domain.org"; option! "; Option Domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1; option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time # option ntp-servers 192.168.11; # option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; # --- selects point-to- point node (default is hybrid) Dont change this unless # - you understand Netbios very well # option netbios-node-type 2;. range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 43200 ; # weowed the name dernet 00: E0: 4E: E8: 9B: BC; fixed-address 192.168.0.2;}} Note: Here you assume that the machine 2 network card MAC address is: 00 : E0: 4E: E8: 9B: BC, you can use ifconfig to view the MAC address of the machine 2, make the corresponding modification. 4. Machine 1, use Ifconfig observation, whether the broadcast address setting of the subnet card is correct:, such as: 192.168.0.255. If not correct, modify the network configuration. 5. Machine 1 to start the DHCPD service. # Service DHCPD Restart Note: If you can't start, Observe / Var/log/Message.6. Machine 2, modify / etc / sysconfig / network-scripts / ifcfg-eth0Device = eth0bootproto = dhcponboot = yes7. Machine 2, delete / All contents of ETC / Resolv.conf. 8. Machine 2, initial test network card.
