2.3 DHCPD Server Setup
Create or edit the file /etc/dhcpd.conf. The actual dhcpd.conf file may be different than this
depending on the needs, however, this is a reasonable starting point.

option root-path "/exports/fs.xscale";
}
}
Ensure that the /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases file exists. When not, create it with the command “touch
/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases”.
Start the dhcpd server. On Fedora or Mandrake systems, issue the command “/sbin/service dhcpd
start”. Other platforms may invoke the rc init script for dhcpd as “/etc/init.d/dhcpd start”.
For Fedora and Mandrake host systems, ensure that the DHCP server runs automatically at boot by
issuing the command “/sbin/chkconfig dhcpd on”.
Note: When using BOOTP or DHCP to assign dynamic IP addresses, use the 'fconfig' command in
RedBoot to configure the board to query for an IP address. See the RedBoot User's Manual
