# 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 <codeb>dhclient</codeb> installed, enter the command:
#:: <b><code><span style="color:#3366CC;font-size:1.2em;">rpm -q dhclient</span></code></b>
# If the package is not installed, you will get the message ''"package dhclient is not installed"'', otherwise, you will get the version information of the rpm package. Install the <codeb>dhclient</codeb> package if it was not installed.
# Check to see if the dhcp server package is installed. If not - install it.
# Enter the command to list all the files installed from the DHCP server package.
# Remain in your centos3 VM for this section.
# Study the man b pages of <codeb>dhcpd</codeb>, <codeb>dhcpd.conf</codeb>, <codeb>dhcp-options</codeb>, and <codeb>dhcpd.leases</codeb> and make notes in your log book. In particular, look up the meaning and possible value(s), if any, for the following configuration options:
::* broadcast-address
::* default-lease-time
