5.5 Configuring a Linux DHCP server
The following instructions are specific to the ISC.org dhcpd server. If a different DHCP server package is
used, see its instructions for configuring the Vendor Class and Vendor-specific Information options.
1. Open the Linux DHCP configuration file (for example, /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf) by using a text editor and
add these lines:
Add this string at the top of the DHCP configuration file, outside the braces:
option myname code 43 = text;
Add these strings inside subnet entry braces:
option vendor-class-identifier "iDRAC";
set vendor-string = option vendor-class-identifier;
option myname "-f system_config.xml –i 192.168.0.130 –u user
–p password –n sambashare/config_files –s 2 –d 0 –t 500";
The “option myname” string is an example of entering network share information for access to the Server
Configuration Profile file. Edit this information by using the filename and network share information. The list of
required and optional parameters for this string can be found in
section 6.1. Note: Test the network share first
and make certain that it can be accessed without any issues.
Note: NFS4 is not supported on iDRAC9 3.00.00.00 and earlier versions. Use NFS2 or NFS3 for NFS
network share.
