Enabling DHCP after install

[ayoward]

Hi everyone,

Having moved offices to a “hip” location, there is hardly any structured cabling (much to my annoyance) which means I can no longer have my Fog Server on the network like it was so I now need it to be standalone. Is there a way that I can have the Fog Server now be it’s own DHCP server and have it dish out IP addresses to all the machines I plug into the attached switch?

Thanks,

Andrew

I know you can set it up at initial install as a DHCP server, but not sure how to go about it after it has been running for a while.

@ayoward Edit your /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and change the following two lines to whaty ou see below:

dodhcp="Y"
bldhcp=1

Save and re-run the installer. It should do all the DHCP setup for you then.

@Sebastian-Roth Sorted. Many thanks for your help!!
