|
|
<para>The <application><acronym>DHCP</acronym></application> package comes with
|
|
both a client (called <command>dhclient</command>) and a server program for
|
|
using <acronym>DHCP</acronym>. If you want to install this package,
|
|
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.
|
|
You only need to run the <acronym>DHCP</acronym> server 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! Once you have installed the
|
|
package, return here for information on how to configure the client
|
|
(<command>dhclient</command>).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To configure <command>dhclient</command>, we need to first install
|
|
the network service script,
|
|
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/services/dhclient</filename>
|
|
included in the <xref linkend="intro-important-bootscripts"/> package.</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>make install-service-dhclient</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Next, create the <filename>ifconfig.eth0</filename>
|
|
file with the following commands. Adjust as necessary for additional
|
|
interfaces.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: this will overwrite any existing file.</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>cat > /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 << "EOF"</command>

ONBOOT=yes

DHCP_START="<place appropriate start parameters here>"

DHCP_STOP="-r <add additional stop parameters here>"

<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>For more information on the appropriate

<envar>DHCP_START</envar> and <envar>DHCP_STOP</envar>
|
|
values, examine the man page for <command>dhclient</command>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, you should then create
|
|
the <filename>/etc/dhclient.conf</filename> using the following
|
|
commands. Append to the file if you have more than one interface:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>cat > /etc/dhclient.conf << "EOF"</command>
|
|
# dhclient.conf

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
|
|
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name;
|

require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers;
|

}
|

# end dhclient.conf
|

<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
