Make sure that the dhcpd rpm is installed. There should be a sample configuration file in the /usr/share/doc/dhcp-<version>/ directory. Copy this file to /etc/dhcpd.conf

cp /usr/share/doc/dhcp-3.0pl2/dhcpd.conf.sample /etc/dhcpd.conf

Next edit the file to reflect your network. Specifically the following paramenters:

option routers <gateway-IP>
option subnet-mask <subnet-mask>;
option domain-name-servers <dns-IP>;
range dynamic-bootp <start-address> <end-address>;

Save the changes then restart dhcpd with: service dhcpd restart
