.. _Configuring DHCP Server:

Configuring 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
