Creating a dhcpd.

conf File
dhcpd reads its configuration from the /etc/dhcpd.conf file. The dhcpd.conf file identifies the
clients to the server, and defines the configuration that the server provides each client. The
sample dhcpd.conf file shown in Listing 8.1 dynamically assigns IP addresses to the DHCP
clients on a subnet, and supports a few clients that require static addresses.
