I used service isc-dhcp-server start to invoke the dhcpd. if I do ps -ef | grep dhcp here it is:

root@casalab-Latitude-D530:~# ps -ef | grep dhcp
dhcpd     6636     1  0 Apr28 ?        00:00:00 dhcpd
dhcpd     6640     1  0 Apr28 ?        00:00:00 dhcpd
dhcpd     6814     1  0 Apr28 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -f -q -4 -pf /run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

Where can I specify the server parameter and dhcp.conf file if I do it this way?

The upstart job file (/etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf) sets the config file and the start parameters. This is the snippet of estimating the config file:

if [ -f /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ]; then
  CONFIG_FILE=/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf
else
  CONFIG_FILE=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
fi

You can edit this lines to set your config file to your specified file.

And here the execute statement:

exec /usr/sbin/dhcpd -f -q -4 -pf /run/dhcp-server/dhcpd.pid -cf $CONFIG_FILE $INTERFACES

Here, you can edit the parameters of the dhcpd daemon. After saving the file you can restart the dhcp service with the command:

service isc-dhcp-server restart

  • I found one under /etc/init/isc-dhcp-server.conf is it the correct one? Thanks a lot for the help – Zota206 Apr 29 '14 at 06:57
  • Oh, sorry, I never mentioned the config file path=) Yes, it's that one. I edited my answer. – chaos Apr 29 '14 at 07:01
