This version of DHCP is very recent, which is really good for PXE boot environments. DHCP is the magic that sends
the configuration information to our new server over the network. Before it can do so however the configuration file
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf needs to be amended. The below is an example minimum configuration file needed for PXE clients:
allow booting;
allow bootp;
# other global options, such as domain-name, domain-name-servers, routers etc
# build network
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.100.50 192.168.100.100;
# further options...
# specific hosts
host pxeboot {
hardware ethernet 08:00:27:62:66:EE;
fixed-address 192.168.100.51;
}
}
