Configuring a Linux DHCP Server

1. Edit the DHCP server configuration file /etc/dhcpd.conf. Add the following lines to the beginning
of the file exactly as shown:
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
Authoritative;
Option NDM code 201 =string;
Option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
Option NDM "'Management_Gateway_IP_Address' '40003'";
2. Restart dhcpd to use the new configuration.
3. The HP Device Manager config string should be:
'Management_Gateway_IP_Address' '40003'

Configuring Routers

For PXE to function properly, any network that uses DHCP and has multiple subnets should have an IP
helper configured in the router between any clients requiring a dynamic IP address and the DHCP server.
The router will need to be configured to have an additional IP helper address to point to the Management
Gateway.
