Mount the cd/dvd drive
· Next, you will need to install the software package that provides DHCP services (a.k.a. the DHCP daemon software). It is located on the installation DVD ISO image for the CentOS Linux Distribution. Associate the (Disc 1 of 2) DVD ISO with the virtual machine's CD/DVD optical drive, create a mountpoint, and mount the DVD ISO so you can access the file system from (host-1). Here are the commands to use



# cd /
# mkdir /mnt/cdrom
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
# cd /mnt/cdrom/CentOS

· You will install the DHCP daemon software package. Here are the commands to use

# ls -la dhcp-3.0.5*.*
# rpm -i dhcp-3.0.5-23.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm
# cd /
# umount /dev/hdc

· Remove the DVD ISO image file from the virtual machine's CD/DVD optical drive
· Gracefully restart the (host-1) virtual machine, to activate the newly assigned hostname, and to ensure all references and paths to the newly installed software package is updated
· Login to the (host-1) virtual machine using the (root) user's security credentials
· Locate and edit the (/etc/dhcpd.conf) configuration file for the DHCP daemon software, and add the following entries to create a small scope for test purposes
