Install a DHCP Server Linux/Ubuntu 16.04
Installation and setup
- Install the DHCP server package:
sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server
- Configure the file
After installation edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and confirm the following:ddns-update-style none; #option domain-name "example.org"; #option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org; # define in seconds default-lease-time 3600; max-lease-time 10800; # Primary, single network DHCP authoritative; subnet 192.168.28.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.28.100 192.168.28.254; option domain-name-servers 192.168.28.1; option routers 192.168.28.1; }
And finally edit the file /etc/default /isc-dhcp-server
# network card for use by DHCP server INTERFACES="enp0s8"
Start the service:
sudo service isc-dhcp-server start
- Assign a fixed IP through DHCP (optional)
Edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and add the following:
host OPcDaDiana {
hardware ethernet 08:00:27:F4:2C:CA;
fixed-address 192.168.28.10;
}
Whenever configuration changes are made, the service must be restarted:
service isc-dhcp-server restart
- See leases (optional)
Information on IP “leases” assigned by the server can be found at:
