21.11.6 DHCP Configuration with YaST
Note
LDAP Support
In this version of the SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server, the DHCP
server as configured with YaST can be set up to store the server
configuration locally (on the host that runs the DHCP server), or
alternatively to have its configuration data managed by an LDAP
server.
Note
The DHCP module of YaST allows you to set up your own DHCP server
for the local network. The module can work in two different modes:
Initial Configuration When starting the module for the first time, you will
be prompted to make just a few basic decisions concerning the server
administration. After completing this initial setup, the server is ready
to go with a configuration that should be suitable for most basic sce-
narios.
Expert Configuration This expert mode lets you configure more advanced
settings, such as those related to dynamic DNS, TSIG management,
and others.
Note
Navigating the Module
All dialogs of the DHCP module have a similar layout. The left
part of the dialog window displays a tree view with which to
access the individual sections of the configuration. The selected
configuration dialog is displayed to the right. To get help for the
current dialog, click the life preserver icon at the bottom left of
the window. To close the help window and go back to the tree,
click the icon depicting a tree structure.
Note
Initial Configuration
After launching the module for the first time, YaST starts a four-part config-
uration assistant. You can set up a basic DHCP server for your network by
completing this assistant.
