Investigation 4: How do I configure dhcpd to provide IP configuration to my virtual network?
* The network address is 192.168.235.0/255.255.255.0 and the range of host addresses should be from 51 to 60
* Also add a default gateway for the virtual network of 192.168.235.1
* Save the file .* Open another terminal window (ssh into fedora3 from fedora host as user root) and issue the following command:** <code>tail -f /var/log/messages</code>* This will show you the last 10 lines of <code>/var/log/messages</code> continue to display new lines as they are added to the log.* In your original terminal prompt attempt to start the <code>dhcpd</code> service.* You should see new lines being added to the messages file.* If the service fails to start any error messages will be logged in the messages file. Read the errors and attempt to fix your configuration file.* If the service starts successfully you should see success messages in the log. * If your service starts successfully edit the configuration file and introduce an error by removing a semicolon or closing curly bracket.* Restart your service and observe the error messages generated.
