How to install DHCP Server on Debian 7.8

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used in UDP / IP networks where dynamic DHCP servers provide an IP address and other network configuration parameters for each device on the network so that they can communicate with other IP networks. DHCP servers allow computers to automatically request IP addresses and network parameters from Internet service providers (ISPs), reducing the need for network administrators or users to manually assign IP addresses to all network devices. In the absence of a DHCP server, the computer or other device on the network must be manually assigned an IP address, or to set APIPA's own address, which will not allow communication outside the local subnet.

DHCP can be implemented on networks ranging from home network sizes to large campus networks and regional Internet service provider networks. A residential router or gate can be activated to act as a DHCP server. Most residential network routers receive a unique global IP address in the ISP network. In a local network, the DHCP server specifies a local IP address for each device connected to the network.

okay just follow the dhcp installation tutorial:

1. The first thing we have to do is set the ip address first
   
2. after that we restart the ip
   
3. Then we just install the dhcp software
   
4. After that we open the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf in this section, look for the word A slightly and delete the fence sign from the subnet until the closing parenthesis, then after that on the subnet enter the network ip of the debian because we set 1.5.10.1 to be ip the network is 1.5.10.0 and the netmask is the same as before in the ip range, we are free, how many clients, for example, I will make 15 clients from 2 to 16 because 1 has been used by debian and in the router option input ip debian and broadcash the last ip input is 255
   
5. After that we just restart the dhcp
   
6. then check with the client
   

conclusion:

A residential router or gate can be activated to act as a DHCP server. Most residential network routers receive a unique global IP address in the ISP network
