Linux - Add DHCP and DNS

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 00:00:00 +1300

How to install DHCP and DNS on Fedora / Centos / Redhat box;

yum -y install dhcp.i386 bind.i386

Set services to auto start using ntsysv – services are called “dhcpd” and “named”.

How to configure dhcp;

nano /etc/dhcpd.conf — configure as per sample provided. The sample is usually located in the same directory. service dhcpd restart - should start without problem if done correctly

Note: dhcp range has to be on the same network as your adapter. You can run dhcpd from the command line to diagnose any issues.

if your card is natively supported type ;

iwconfig

iwlist scanning – should also show you the wireless networks that are in range (will work if driver is loaded)

you should see wlan0 if all is good; (grab your wireless details)

iwconfig wlan0 mode managed (should already be in this mode)

there are some cool options here like “secondary” mode which the node acts as a backup master/repeater. “Repeater” - the node forwards packets between other wire-less nodes
