I was trying to configure DHCP on centos 6.my eth0 configuration is:

[centos@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"  
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
HWADDR="00:0C:29:AE:62:BC"
MTU="1500" 
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
[centos@localhost ~]$

i install dhcp by:

#yum -y install dhcp

the result i see is:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror2.hs-esslingen.de
* extras: mirror2.hs-esslingen.de
* updates: ftp.plusline.de

This looks like you haven't really installed the dhcp package you can check with 

yum list installed | grep dhcp

check that the package

dhcp.x86_64                         12:4.1.1-31.0.1.P1.el6.centos.1    @updates

or similar is installed. You should also check your /var/log/yum.log file for relevant information.

Edit: The OP failed to notice that the yum install command did not work. This was caused by conflicting files from different packages. A

yum update dhclient

fixed the conflict which allowed then to progress.

  • I check it. yum.log is empty and there isn't any relevant dhcp package in yum list. – sahar Dec 30 '12 at 14:28
  • can you tell me why the package didn't installed and how can i install that? – sahar Dec 30 '12 at 14:29
  • @sahar: What messages do you get from the `yum install dhcp` command ? – user9517 Dec 30 '12 at 14:37
