Setting Up a DHCP Server Manually
All the DHCP server needs to do, apart from providing automatic address allocation to
your network clients, is to announce the IP address of the TFTP server and the file that
should be pulled in by the installation routines on the target machine.
1 Log in as root to the machine hosting the DHCP server.
2 Append the following lines to your DHCP server's configuration file located
under /etc/dhcpd.conf:
group {
# PXE related stuff
#
# "next server" defines the tftp server that will be used
next server ip_tftp_server:
#
# "filename" specifies the pxelinux image on the tftp server
# the server runs in chroot under /srv/tftpboot
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
Replace ip_of_the_tftp_server with the actual IP address of the TFTP
server. For more information about the options available in dhcpd.conf, refer
to the dhcpd.conf manual page.
