DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network
service that enables clients to obtain network settings (IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS Server,
Hostname and Domain) automatically from a central server
The DHCP client sends a broadcast request to find the
DHCP server and the DHCP server in the subnet responds
with an IP address (and other common network parameters)
from a pool of IP addresses
The IP address can be bound to the MAC address of the
client
Daemon: dhcpd
Lease file: /var/lib/dhcp/[Link]

DHCP Client Configuration
Configure the Network Configuration to pickup
network settings from DHCP server
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcg-eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp (static)
Applications System Settings Network
NIS Server Setup
NIS SERVER SETUP
NIS Server Setup
Network Information Service
Directory Service for Centralized
Authentication and Accounting
The NIS server and all NIS clients are
members of a NIS domain
Single Master Server and Multiple Slave
Servers
Uses ypserv, yppasswdd and ypbind
daemon (also uses portmap and rpc service)
NIS Server Setup
NIS Server Configuration
Edit File /etc/sysconfig/network and add
NISDOMAIN=<mynisdomain>
Build NIS maps by running
/usr/lib/yp/ypinit –m
(ypserv should be running)
service ypserv start/stop/restart
service yppasswdd start/stop/restart
NIS Server Setup
NIS Client Configuration
Specify NIS Server and NIS Domain
/etc/[Link]
domain <mynisdomain> server <nis server IP>
/etc/[Link]
passwd: files nis
shadow: files nis
group: files nis
/etc/sysconfig/network
NISDOMAIN=<mynisdomain>
service ypbind start/stop/restart
NIS Server Setup
NIS Troubleshooting
Use ypwhich to find and verify which server a
client is bound to, if any
Use ypcat to verify that correct NIS data is
available.
