This page will summarize the steps to install a DHCP server on your APF/OPOS. You might want that kind of server when, for example, your board is configured as a Wi-Fi access point or runs a webserver accessible from USB Network Gadget.

==Installation==

<pre class="host">
$ make menuconfig
</pre>
<pre class="config">
...
Target packages  --->
    ...
    Networking applications  --->
        ...
        [*] dnsmasq
        [*]   tftp support
        [*]   dhcp support
        [ ]   DNSSEC support
        [ ]   IDN support
        [ ]   conntrack marking support
</pre>

==Usage==
* ''dnsmasq'' is automatically launch at system startup, when ''/etc/dnsmasq.conf'' configuration file exists.
So take your favorite text editor and create ''/etc/dnsmasq.conf'' with following informations (adapt interface name & IP addresses to the network you want to setup):
<pre class="apf">
interface=usb0
dhcp-range=192.168.10.10,192.168.10.20,12h
</pre>
* then reboot your board and it should be up and running
