Red Hat Enterprise Linux network configuration
The following system prerequisites apply only to Red Hat Linux systems:
Install the following RPM packages (unless already installed):
compat-libstdc++
tftp-server
dhcp
Enable the tftp service as follows:
Edit the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and change disable = yes to disable = no.
Start the service by running the following command:
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Create a /etc/dhcpd.conf file and configure it to define the networks it serves. You do not have to define host information; hosts are added and removed as needed by the BMR software. The following is an example configuration:
log-facility local7; ddns-update-style none; ignore unknown-clients; subnet 10.10.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; option domain-name "example.com"; option broadcast-address 10.10.5.255; option domain-name-servers 10.10.1.4,10.88.24.5; option routers 10.10.5.1; }To verify the
/etc/dhcpd.conffile syntax, restart the daemon and ensure that it starts successfully by running the following command:/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
