Installing or configuring Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) daemon

Installing dhcpd

For more information about Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), see:
At a terminal prompt, enter the following command to install dhcpd:
# sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server
NOTE: You may need to edit /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server to specify the interfaces dhcpd should listen to.
NOTE: dhcpd diagnostic messages stored in the syslog.

Configuring dhcpd

  1. Edit /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf, for example:
    default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
option routers 192.168.1.254;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
option domain-name "mydomain.example"; }
  2. After changing the config file, restart the dhcpd.
    # sudo systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server.service
  3. Clients are found in the lease file.
    # cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases
