Red Hat Enterprise Linux network configuration

The following system prerequisites apply only to Red Hat Linux systems:

Install the following RPM packages (unless already installed):
- compat-libstdc++
- tftp-server
- dhcp
Enable the tftp service as follows:
- Edit the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file and change disable = yes to disable = no.
- Start the service by running the following command:
  /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Create a /etc/dhcpd.conf file and configure it to define the networks it serves. You do not have to define host information; hosts are added and removed as needed by the BMR software. The following is an example configuration:
```
log-facility local7;
ddns-update-style none;
ignore unknown-clients;
subnet 10.10.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {  
default-lease-time            600;  
max-lease-time                7200;  
option domain-name            "example.com";  
option broadcast-address      10.10.5.255;
option domain-name-servers    10.10.1.4,10.88.24.5;
option routers                10.10.5.1;
}
```
To verify the /etc/dhcpd.conf file syntax, restart the daemon and ensure that it starts successfully by running the following command:
/etc/init.d/dhcpd restart
