We will now set up a DHCP Server and configure it to hand out a specific range of addresses and update DNS (once we set it up)

Install the DHCP server package.

sudo apt-get install isc-dhcp-server

It will fail on startup as it is not configured yet.

service isc-dhcp-server stop

Configure the interface to listen on

nano /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server

Change the parameter for "interfaces"

# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
#       Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACESv4="br0"
INTERFACESv6=""

Configure /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

The following sample config file sets up the following parameters.

  • Hands out IP addresses in the range 192.168.3.10 192.168.3.49
  • Sets the following clients default settings
    • default router = 192.168.3.1
    • domain-name-servers 192.168.3.200, 192.168.3.1;
    • domain-name "scottworld.net";
    • routers 192.168.3.1;
    • broadcast-address 192.168.3.255;
    • It reserves a number of addresses by mac address for certain devices / hosts.

Its will also attempt to dynamically update DNS with new clients. (When we configure it)

# The ddns-updates-style parameter controls whether or not the server will
# attempt to do a DNS update when a lease is confirmed. We default to the
# behavior of the version 2 packages ('none', since DHCP v2 didn't
# have support for DDNS.)
ddns-updates on;
ddns-update-style standard;
allow unknown-clients;
use-host-decl-names on;

option tz-posix-string code 100 = string;
option tz-database-string code 101 = string;

# option definitions common to all supported networks...

# Fixed IP addresses can also be specified for hosts.   These addresses
# should not also be listed as being available for dynamic assignment.
# Hosts for which fixed IP addresses have been specified can boot using
# BOOTP or DHCP.   Hosts for which no fixed address is specified can only
# be booted with DHCP, unless there is an address range on the subnet
# to which a BOOTP client is connected which has the dynamic-bootp flag
# set.

Restart DHCP server and test (DNS will still be broken we need to do that next)

service isc-dhcp-server restart
