Setting Up a DHCP Server

Now you can proceed with configuring a DHCP server. To configure the DHCP server for installing Parallels Cloud Server 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";

where PXE_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS is the IP address of your PXE server.

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).
