DHCP If you have not compiled IPv6 support into the kernel, apply the missing_ipv6 patch: patch -Np1 -i ../dhcp-&dhcp-version;-missing_ipv6-1.patch Be careful with the instructions below. The single and double quotes are important because the defined variables are used verbatim in the code. Install ISC DHCP by running the following commands: patch -Np1 -i ../dhcp-&dhcp-version;-client_script-1.patch && CFLAGS="-D_PATH_DHCLIENT_SCRIPT='\"/sbin/dhclient-script\"' \ -D_PATH_DHCPD_CONF='\"/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf\"' \ -D_PATH_DHCLIENT_CONF='\"/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf\"'" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --sysconfdir=/etc/dhcp \ --localstatedir=/var \ --with-srv-lease-file=/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases \ --with-srv6-lease-file=/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd6.leases \ --with-cli-lease-file=/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases \ --with-cli6-lease-file=/var/lib/dhclient/dhclient6.leases && make To test the results, issue: make check If you only want to install the ISC DHCP client, issue the following commands as the root user: make -C client install && mv -v /usr/sbin/dhclient /sbin && install -v -m755 client/scripts/linux /sbin/dhclient-script Skip to in order to configure the client If you only want to install the ISC DHCP server, issue the following command as the root user: make -C server install Skip to in order to configure the server. Alternatively, you can install whole package which includes the client, server, relay, static libraries and development headers by running the following commands as the root user: make install && mv -v /usr/sbin/dhclient /sbin && install -v -m755 client/scripts/linux /sbin/dhclient-script /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf and /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf Create basic /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf by running the following command as the root user: cat > /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf << "EOF" # Begin /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf # # Basic dhclient.conf(5) #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers, domain-name, domain-name-servers, domain-search, host-name, netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu, ntp-servers; require subnet-mask, domain-name-servers; #timeout 60; #retry 60; #reboot 10; #select-timeout 5; #initial-interval 2; # End /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf EOF See man 5 dhclient.conf for additional options. Now create the /var/lib/dhclient directory which will contain DHCP Client leases by running the following command as the root user: install -v -dm 755 /var/lib/dhclient At this point you can test if dhclient is behaving as expected by running the following command as the root user: dhclient <eth0> Replace <eth0> with your desired interface. If you want more verbose output, add the -v parameter to the command above. If you want to configure network interfaces at boot using dhclient, you need to install the /lib/services/dhclient script included in package: make install-service-dhclient dhclient (service script) Next, create the /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 configuration file with the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 << "EOF" ONBOOT="yes" IFACE="eth0" SERVICE="dhclient" DHCP_START="" DHCP_STOP="" # Set PRINTIP="yes" to have the script print # the DHCP assigned IP address PRINTIP="no" # Set PRINTALL="yes" to print the DHCP assigned values for # IP, SM, DG, and 1st NS. This requires PRINTIP="yes". PRINTALL="no" EOF /etc/sysconfig/ifconfig.eth0 Adjust the file to suit your needs. For more information on the appropriate DHCP_START and DHCP_STOP values see man 8 dhclient. Note that you only need the DHCP server if you want to issue LAN addresses over your network. The DHCP client doesn't need the server in order to function properly. Start with creating /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf by running the following command as the root user: cat > /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf << "EOF" # Begin /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf # # Example dhcpd.conf(5) # Use this to enble / disable dynamic dns updates globally. ddns-update-style none; # option definitions common to all supported networks... option domain-name "example.org"; option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org; default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; # This is a very basic subnet declaration. subnet 10.254.239.0 netmask 255.255.255.224 { range 10.254.239.10 10.254.239.20; option routers rtr-239-0-1.example.org, rtr-239-0-2.example.org; } # End /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf EOF Adjust the file to suit your needs. See man 5 dhcpd.conf for additional options. Now create the /var/lib/dhcpd directory which will contain DHCP Server leases by running the following command as the root user: install -v -dm 755 /var/lib/dhcpd If you want to start the DHCP Server at boot, install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd init script included in the package: make install-dhcpd dhcpd You will need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/dhcpd in order to set the interface on which dhcpd will serve the DHCP requests. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories dhclient, dhclient-script, dhcpd, dhcrelay and omshell libdhcpctl.a, libdst.a and libomapi.a /etc/dhcp, /usr/include/dhcpctl, /usr/include/isc-dhcp, /usr/include/omapip, /var/lib/dhclient and /var/lib/dhcpd Short Descriptions dhclient is the implementation of the DHCP client. dhclient dhclient-script is used by dhclient to (re)configure interfaces. It can make extra changes by invoking custom dhclient-{entry,exit}-hooks. dhclient-script dhcpd implements Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Internet Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) requests for network addresses. dhcpd dhcrelay provides a means to accept DHCP and BOOTP requests on a subnet without a DHCP server and relay them to a DHCP server on another subnet. dhcrelay omshell provides an interactive way to connect to, query and possibly change the ISC DHCP Server's state via OMAPI, the Object Management API. omshell
