<para>The dhcp package comes with both a client and a server program for
|
|
using DHCP. If you want to install it, the instructions can be found
|
|
at <xref linkend="dhcp"/>. Note that if you only want to
|
|
use the client, you do <emphasis>not</emphasis> need to run the server and
|
|
so do not need the startup script and links provided for the server daemon.
|
|
Note that to use the client, you still need to alter your
|
|
<filename>ethnet</filename> script as described in the next section.
|
|
You only need to run the DHCP server however, if you're providing this
|
|
service to a network, and it's likely that you'll know if that's the
|
|
case; if it isn't, don't run the server!</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To configure the client, you need to modify the
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0</filename> file
|
|
(or the appropriate one for the interface you are running DHCP on)
|
|
you created earlier by adding the appropriate <userinput>DHCP_PROG
|
|
</userinput>, <userinput>DHCP_START</userinput> and
|
|
<userinput>DHCP_STOP</userinput> values.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Then create the <filename>/etc/dhclient.conf</filename> using the
|
|
following command:</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><screen><userinput>cat > /etc/dhclient.conf << "EOF"</userinput>
|
|
# dhclient.conf

interface "eth0"{

prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
|
|
request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
|
|
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
|
|
require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
|
|
}
|
|
# end dhclient.conf
|
|
<userinput>EOF</userinput></screen></para>
