.. _Setting Up a DHCP Server:

Setting Up a DHCP Server
------------------------

Now you can proceed with configuring a DHCP server. To configure the DHCP server for installing |product_name| over the network, open the ``dhcpd.conf`` file (usually, it is located in the ``/etc`` or ``/etc/dhcp`` directory) for editing and add the following strings to this file:

::

    next-server <PXE_server_IP_address>;
    filename "/pxelinux.0";

.. note:: To configure a DHCP server for installation on EFI-based systems, specify ``filename "/bootx64.efi"`` instead of ``filename "/pxelinux.0"`` in the ``dhcpd.conf`` file (where ``/bootx64.efi`` is the directory to which you copied the EFI boot images when setting up the TFTP server).
