The term '''DORA''' best describes how DHCP Works:

=== Part 1: Installation of a DHCP===
'''Perform the following steps:'''
# Perform this section in your '''centos3''' VM.<br><br>The version of DHCP server that comes with CentOS is maintained and distributed by the Internet Software Consortium (http://www.isc.org). The source package that you can download from ISC includes not only the DHCP server, but also a DHCP client and a DHCP relay agent. CentOS separates it into two RPM packages: the DHCP client package and the DHCP server package. The DHCP client package is installed by default by the workstation installation.<br><br>
# To check that you have <b>dhclient</b> installed, enter the command:
# Copy the '''dhcpd.conf.example''' file to the '''/etc/dhcp''' directory making sure it is named: '''/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf'''
[[Image:dhcp-config.png|thumb|right|500px|The '''dhcpd.config''' file allows the Linux system administrator to customize the DCHP server. Generally in this file are '''global settings''' (options that apply throughout entire network) and '''subnet declarations''' (options that apply only to that subnet). Whenever changes are made to this file, the '''DCHP service needs to be restarted''' to allow new settings to take effect.<br><br>'''NOTE: Any errors in this file (such as typos or missing semi-colons) can cause the DHCP server not to restart!''' ]]
