Build DHCP Server

 

Server OS: CentOS5.6 x86_64
Server Name: xen1
xen1:
 eth0: 10.0.0.1
 Gateway: 10.0.0.1
 DNS:8.8.8.8

1. Install the dhcp package.
 yum install dhcp

2. Configuration
 vi /etc/dhcpd.conf, add following lines:

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

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
 option routers   10.0.0.1;
 option subnet-mask  255.255.255.0;
 option nis-domain  "domain.org";
 option domain-name  "domain.org";
 option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
 option time-offset  -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
 range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.100 10.0.0.120;
 default-lease-time 21600;
 max-lease-time 43200;
next-server 10.0.0.1;
filename "/pxelinux.0";

}

Sample file: /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample

3. Start service
 service dhcpd start
 chkconfig dhcpd on //autostart when next booting

Ok, you have successfully builded the dhcp server, the client OS'network only need set dhcp mode, server will distribute ip for it dynamically.
