Hi all
I have configured DHCP server in my machine connected to LAN which is having
Scientific Linux OS
dhcp-3.0.1-12_EL.i386 is the version I've configured
Also there is one DHCP server configured with windows OS in my LAN
Here is my /etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
lease-file-name "/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases";
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 10.2.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.2.0.200 10.2.0.250;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 10.2.0.43;
option domain-name "virtualnode03.grid";
option routers 10.2.0.43;
option broadcast-address 10.2.0.255;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
}
Now all the dhcp client requests are acquiring Ip address from the Windows
DHCP Server.
Is there any possiblity to have the multiple DHCP Servers in a single LAN ??
Whether I ve to do any other configuration in client machine so that i ve to
request ip address explicitly to the Linux DHCP server?
Here is my client machine's(g151.grid) network configuration
[root at g151 ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
When I restart my network configuration using "service network restart " .
Ip is assigned from my windows DHCP Server
[root at g151 ~]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:29:EA:03
inet addr:192.168.100.76 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:

Also in my Linux DHCP Server I got the following /var/log/messages
[root at virtualnode03 ~]# tail /var/log/messages

Is there any thing else I've to configure.. My requirement is to get the ip
address assigned from Linux DHCP Server ..Please Help me by giving your
valuable suggesstions
Thanks in advance
