Save a copy of the original dhcpd.conf file:

Panel

mv /etc/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcpd.conf.orig

Configure the dhcpd.conf file:
Panel

vi /etc/dhcpd.conf

The dhcpd.conf file should contain the following:

No Format

ddns-update-style none; shared-network vmnet1 {
         subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
                 ignore unknown-clients;
                 option routers 192.168.0.1;
                 host vmguest-1 {
                         option host-name "vmguest-1";
                         hardware ethernet 00:50:56:1a:01:01;
                         fixed-address 192.168.1.1;
                         filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";
                         option dhcp-server-identifier 192.168.0.1;
                         next-server 192.168.0.1;
                 }
          } 
}

The DHCP daemon should only listen on the virtual private network (vmnet1) to avoid conflicts with other production VCL networks.  Configure the dhcpd service startup script to only listen on the vmnet1 interface:

Panel

vi /etc/init.d/dhcpd

Add vmnet1 the to the daemon $dhcpd line as shown:

No Format

start() {
 [ -x $dhcpd ] || return 5
 [ -f $conf ] || return 6
 pidofproc $prog >/dev/null 2>&1
 RETVAL=$?
 [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && return $RETVAL 
 echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
 daemon $dhcpd vmnet1 $DHCPDARGS 2>/dev/null
 RETVAL=$?
 echo
 [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch $lockfile
 return $RETVAL 
}

Configure the dhcpd service to automatically start at runlevels 3-5:

Panel

/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 dhcpd on

Start the dhcpd service:
