Install DHCP After Fog installation

[caw001]

Hello,

We are testing with Fog and therefore turned off DHCP because we already have a dhcp server. However in testing in our isolated environment we realized we need the DHCP Services running on the fog server. How can I install/configure them now that Fog is already installed?

What version of linux is your fog server running on?

There are 2 ways to go about enabling the dhcp server.

1. Manually install your distribution’s version of isc-dhcp and then using this config file: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_and_UEFI_Co-Existence#Example_1 (I like this method the best).
2. Fiddle with the .fogsettings file and update the following 2 values.

        dodhcp='N'
        bldhcp='0'

to be

        dodhcp='Y'
        bldhcp='1'

Then rerun the fog installer. The fog installer will use the previously saved answers in this file every time you run the installer.

I’d say adjust the /opt/fog/.fogsettings file and let the fog installer handle configuring DHCP (It is solid, I’ve done a lot of work on that part of the installer). You’ll probably need to install dhcp-server before hand though.
