ISC DHCP: Declare a Subnet and Lease a Pool

MediumNetworking15-25 min

The brief

Stand up a DHCP scope for a LAN. Your assignment is in /root/case/assignment.env (SUBNET, NETMASK, RANGE_START, RANGE_END, ROUTER, DNS).

Add a subnet block to /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:

subnet SUBNET netmask NETMASK {

range RANGE_START RANGE_END;

option routers ROUTER;

option domain-name-servers DNS;

}

Grading reads dhcpd.conf (dhcpd need not be running). See /root/case/brief.txt.

What you'll do

Declare the DHCP subnet with the right netmask
Hand out addresses from the assigned pool range
Advertise the default gateway to clients
Understand the dhcpd.conf subnet block structure
