# Study the sample '''dhcpd.conf''' file to see examples of how these options are used.
# Edit '''/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf''' and examine the top section of the file.
# Change Look for the comment: '''"option definitions common to all supported networks"'''# Below that comment change the existing global options that exist near the top of the file, but replace with to reflect the newer values shown below:<br><br><br>'''defaultdomain-lease-timename''' '''1200"ops235.org";'''<br>'''maxdomain-leasename-timeservers''' '''192.168.235.1;'''<br><br># Below the global options you changed, add the additional global settings:<br><br>'''domaindefault-lease-nametime''' '''ops235.org1200;'''<br>'''domainmax-namelease-serverstime''' ; '''192.168.235.13600;'''<br> '''3600;'''<br><br>'''Note:''' Any values for time are stated in seconds.<br><br>
# View your editing sessions for typos (check for missing semicolons), then save and exit your editing session.<br><br>
# Remain in your '''centos3''' VM for this section.
# Edit '''/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf''' for a second time.# View this file for existing subnet declarations. Note the syntax and the directive for '''range''' and the option for '''routers''' (gateway).# Now, and add a new subnet delcaration for your virtual network# :<br><br>The network address is : '''192.168.235.0/255.255.255.0''' and the <br>range of host addresses should be from : '''51 to 60'''# Also add a <br>default gateway (routers) for the virtual network of is: '''192.168.235.1'''<br><br>
# Save your editing session, and exit the text editor.
  <ol><li value="56">Open another terminal window (ssh into centos3 from the centos host as user root) and issue the following command:::: <br><b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">tail -f /var/log/messages</span></code></b><libr><br>(This will show you the last 10 lines of '''/var/log/messages''' continue to display new lines as they are added to the log.)<br><br></li>
<li>In your original terminal prompt attempt to start the '''dhcpd''' service.</li>
<li>You should see new lines being added to the messages file.</li>
<li>If your '''dhcpd''' service starts successfully, try to generate errors by editing the configuration file and introduce an error by removing a semicolon or closing curly bracket.</li>
<li>Restart your '''dhcpd''' service and observe the error messages generated. This is good practice to learn how to trouble-shoot and solve dhcpd errors.</li>
<li>Make certain that you have corrected those errors, and that your dhcpd service works properly.<li>Once the dhcpd service has is running, use the '''systemctl''' command to see if the dhcpd service is enabled. If it is not enabled, use the '''chkconfig''' command to enable the dhcpd service so it started automatically upon boot-up.</li>

# Use your '''centos2''' and '''centos3''' VMs for this section.
# On your '''centos3''' terminal window (via ssh from your c7host machine) make sure that the command <bbr><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;"b>tail -f /var/log/messages</span></code></b> is running.# On your '''centos2''' VM, change the configuration of '''eth0''' (or your interface name) to receive dynamic address configuration(i.e. via graphical application, for IVP4 tab, change ''Address'' from '''Manual''' to '''DHCP''', and '''Apply''' settings)<br>([http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS235_Lab_6_-_CentOS7#Part_2:_Configuring_VM_Network_Setup_Graphically_.28system-config-network.29 Refer to Lab6, Investigation1, Part2]).<br><br>Note: if you are configuring via command line, make certain to restart the network for centos2.# Save your changes Logout and restart the your '''NetworkManagercentos2''' serviceVM.# Observe the messages that get loggedfrom the tail -f command as your centos2 VM starts. You should see output similar to the following:<br><br>

<li>Has the IP Address changed? If so, how has the IP Address been assigned according to the '''dhcpd.conf''' file settings?</li>
</ol>
# Remain in your '''centos2''' and '''centos3''' VMs for this section.
# If your '''centos3''' DHCP server successfully issued the proper IP address configuration values to '''centos2''', check the file called :<br>'''/var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases''' in your <u>'''centos3''' VM</u>.# You should see the similar contents similar to:<br><br>

# Make certain that you are located in your '''centos3''' virtual machine.
# Create a host declaration for '''centos2'''. Make sure you record the correct <code>hardware ethernet</code> setting that corresponds to the MAC address of the interface in '''centos2'''.
# Give it the fixed-address '''192.168.235.1242'''<br><br>'''Note:''' When supplying fixed-address it is important that the address assigned is exclusive of any ranges that have been declared. Otherwise it may be possible for 2 different hosts to receive the same address.<br><br><ol><li value="45">Start your service and test the address assignment by releasing your current address on '''centos2''' and then requesting a new address. Use the following commands on '''centos2''':</li>
</ol>
::: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">ifdown eth1</span></code></b>
