Dns & dhcp rhel 5.1

ktmjamal · 07-30-2010, 11:38 AM

I have installed RHEL 5.1 in VMWare 6

I want to configure one RHEL Server with DNS & DHCP

Also I would like to PXE boot, whenever I create a new VMWare Client(RHEL), the installation should be initiated via network boot

Please guide me.

I would start by looking at the Red Hat installation manual.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red...e/ch-bind.html

DNS on Linux consists of a configuration file and a few zone files.

The configuration file is called /etc/named.conf.

I would get DNS working before trying to set up DHCP.
