DHCP/TFTP Server Installation
The following procedure installs the DHCP/TFTP server on a Linux machine.
This procedure uses dnsmasq.
NOTE: To configure the DHCP/TFTP server, you can use any Linux-based host machine. Before you begin, be sure that you
have the root access on your system.
1
Install dnsmasq on your Linux machine.
apt-get can be used to install dnsmasq.
apt-get install dnsmasq
Alternatively, you can download the debian package of dnsmasq and install it. You can download dnsmasq deb from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/uk/trusty/all/dnsmasq/download.
2 Install the debian package using dpkg.
dpkg -i dnsmasq_2.68-1_all.deb
3 Configure the IP address of network i/f of your Linux machine so that it matches the range of IP addresses set in the
dnsmasq conf file.
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.50/24
4 Restart dnsmasq.
service dnsmasq restart
Or
service dnsmasq stop
service dnsmasq start 15
If you see a port-specific error when you start dnsmasq; for example:
Port 53 already in use.
find the process ID of the process using the specific port (in this example, Port 53) and stop the port. Start dnsmasq again
and check that it starts correctly.
The DHCP/TFTP server is now ready for the ONIE target.
