This tutorial explains how to configure DHCP server in RedHat Linux and DHCP client Windows and Linux step by step with practical example. Learn how to configure DHCP server to assign IP addresses dynamically from IP address pool and configure it to assign fix IP addresses to specific resources based on MAC address. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, allows an administrator to configure network settings for all clients on a central server. The DHCP clients request an IP address and other network settings from the DHCP server on the network.
The DHCP server in turn leases the client an IP address within a given range or leases the client an IP address based on the MAC address of the client's network interface card (NIC). The information includes its IP address, along with the network's name server, gateway, and proxy addresses,including the netmask. Nothing has to be configured manually on the local system, except to specify the DHCP server it should get its network configuration from. If an IP address is assigned according to the MAC address of the client's NIC, the same IP address can be leased to the client every time the client requests one. DHCP makes network administration easier and less prone to error. Exam Question Configure the DHCP server by matching the following conditions:. Subnet and netmask should be 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0.
Gateway Should be 192.168.0.254. DNS Sever Should be 192.168.0.254. Domain Name should be example.com. Range from 192.168.0.10-50 Exam Question You have DHCP server, which assigns the IP, gateway and DNS server ip to Clients. There is one DNS servers having MAC address (00:50:FC:98:8D:00 in your LAN, But it always required fixed IP address (192.168.0.10). Configure the DHCP server to assign the fixed IP address to DNS server.
Dhcp Settings For Mac
Configure dhcp server In this example we will configure a dhcp server and will lease ip address to clients. For this example we are using three systems one linux server one linux clients and one window clients.
Dhcp rpm is required to configure dhcp server. Check it if not found then install Now check dhcpd service in system service it should be on.
