installing dhcp to the server though SSH

sudo apt install isc-dhcp-server if user doesn't have the right we add it in nano /etc/sudoers : with user ALL: etc...

sudo nano /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf to see the DHCP settings and edit them

Configuring [[DHCP]] Settings

• we connect to the WAN address of the firewall/pfSense through the FTP client

• WAN address is found on the Dashboard (172.16.254.129 in my case)

• we will launch the DHCP service / daemon to activate it

• to launch the service we enter sudo systemctl start isc-dhcp-server.service

• to verify if it's active sudo systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service
