where
n.n.n.n
is the PXE/DHCP server’s IP address.
Also in the DHCP configuration file, find the following subnet entry fields:
subnet 1.2.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 1.2.3.100 1.2.3.200;
option routers 1.2.3.1;
option broadcast-address 1.2.3.225;
}
Edit the
subnet
,
range
,
router
and
broadcast-address
entries to match the PXE/DHCP
server’s network configuration.
Start the DHCP service.
■
For Red Hat, type the
service dhcp start
command.
#
service dhcpd start
■
For SUSE, use YaST to start the services.
Configure the server to always start DHCP.
■
For Red Hat, type:
#
chkconfig dhcpd on
■
For SUSE, use YaST to configure the services to start at bootup. For example:
#
yast > system > Runlevel Editor

How to Install Portmap on Your DHCP Server
If your server does not include a portmap server, you need to install it.
Determine whether the portmap server package is already installed on the server. Type:
#
rpm -qa | grep portmap
If portmap is not listed, install it as follows:
a. Mount the CD/DVD drive.
#
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
b. Install the portmap server.
■
For RHEL 4.8, insert the DVD or CD2 and type:
#
rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/portmap-*
