Setting Up a DHCP Server with YaST
To announce the TFTP server's location to the network clients and specify the boot
image file the installation target should use, add two declarations to your DHCP server
configuration.
1 Log in as root to the machine hosting the DHCP server.
2 Start YaST > Network Services > DHCP Server.
3 Complete the setup wizard for basic DHCP server setup.
4 Select Expert Settings and select Yes when warned about leaving the start-up di-
alog.
5 In the Configured Declarations dialog, select the subnet in which the new system
should be located and click Edit.
6 In the Subnet Configuration dialog select Add to add a new option to the subnet's
configuration.
7 Select filename and enter pxelinux.0 as the value.
8 Add another option (next-server) and set its value to the address of the TFTP
server.
9 Select OK and Finish to complete the DHCP server configuration.
To configure DHCP to provide a static IP address to a specific host, enter the Expert
Settings of the DHCP server configuration module
declaration of the host type. Add the options hardware and fixed-address to
this host declaration and provide the appropriate values.
Setting Up a DHCP Server Manually
