 # default gateway
 option routers 192.168.1.1;

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

 # DNS's hostname or IP address

 # 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

  }

 # 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
