A short tutorial on how to Install and Configure a DHCP Server on CentOS 6.3 x64, listening on the "eth0" Interface only.


Assumptions and Prerequisites:


  • OS: CentOS 6.3 x64.
  • Server Name: mujahid
  • DNS IP: 192.168.1.10
  • IPv6 is disabled.
  • SELinux is disabled.

  • Subnet: 192.168.1.0/24
  • Domain:kirtipatel.com
  • Gateway (Router IP Address): 192.168.1.1
  • Text Editor: Nano
  • Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is not enabled.

Step-by-Step Instructions:


1. Install the DHCP Package via a terminal.

# yum -y install dhcp

2. Edit file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf with "nano" editor and write the following configuration:


# DHCP Server Configuration file.
#   see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#   see 'man 5 dhcpd.conf'
#


# This DHCP server to be declared valid
authoritative;

# Subnet 192.168.1.0/24
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

 # default gateway
 option routers 192.168.1.1;

 # domain name
 option domain-name kirtipatel.com";

 # DNS's hostname or IP address
 option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.10;

 # range of lease IP address
 range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.254;

 # default lease time
 default-lease-time 600;

 # max lease time
 max-lease-time 7200;

 # broadcast address
 option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;

 #####   Reserved Hosts   #####

 # Router
 host router {
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
  }
 
 # Farooq
 host farooq {
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.10;
  }
 
 # Tariq
 host tariq {
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.11
  }
 
 # Humaira
 host humaira {
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.12;
  }
 
 # Khalid
 host khalid {
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.13;
  }
 
 # Asim
 host asim{
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.14;
  }

# Mujahid
host mujahid{
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.15;
  }

 # Amir
 host amir{
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.16;
  }

 # Muneera
 host muneera{
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.17;
  }

 # Atif
 host atif{
  hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed-address 192.168.1.18;
  }

 } # end of Subnet 192.168.1.0/24

3. edit file /etc/sysconfig/dhcp to make sure the DHCP service is listening on the relevant Interface (eth0).

# nano /etc/sysconfig/dhcp
eg.
DHCPDARGS="eth0"

4. Start DHCP at boot.

# chkconfig dhcpd on

5. Start the DHCP service.

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start

How To Install And Configuring OpenFire XMPP Chat server on centos 6.5

INTRODUCTION: Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a communications protocol for message-oriented middleware based on XML (Extensible Markup Language). The protocol was originally named Jabber and was developed by the Jabber open-source community in 1999 for near real-time, instant messaging (IM), presence information, and contact list maintenance. Designed to be extensible, the protocol has also been used for publish-subscribe systems, signalling for VoIP, video, file transfer, gaming, Internet of Things applications such as the smart grid, and social networking services. Unlike most instant messaging protocols, XMPP is defined in an open standard and uses an open systems approach of development and application, by which anyone may implement an XMPP service and interoperate with other organizations’ implementations. Because XMPP is an open protocol, implementations can be developed using any software license; although many server, clie...
