Example dhcpd.confFebruary 26th 2002

This is a quick /etc/dhcpd.conf file for the ISC DHCP server. This should be enough to get a basic DHCP server up and running on linux.

option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.3;
default-lease-time 14440;
ddns-update-style none;
deny bootp;

shared-network NetworkName {
	subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
		option routers 10.0.0.1;
		option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
		pool {
			range 10.0.0.10 10.0.0.20;
		}
	}
}

Thanks. Worked like magic.

out of the first 5 lines, all but lines 2 and 3 can be deleted if all you want is basic DHCP function Line 3 should be a larger interval since this is the lease time in seconds, try 86400 semicolon missing after 'option routers 10.0.0.1' and 10.x.x.x is a /8 net so you would be better off with a 255.0.0.0 subnet
