ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name imaging.localhost.localdomain;
range 10.0.0.150 10.0.0.255;

Hi caguilar, and welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

Are there any clues in /var/log/messages ?


According to this:
http://web.mit.edu/rhel-doc/5/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/s1-dhcp-configuring-server.html

There should be a sample dhcpd.conf file at:-

/usr/share/doc/dhcp-/dhcpd.conf.sample.
