How to Install Portmap on Your DHCP Server

If your server does not include a portmap server, you need to install it.

Determine whether the portmap server package is already installed on the server. Type:

# rpm -qa | grep portmap

If portmap is not listed, install it as follows:

a. Mount the CD/DVD drive.

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

b. Install the portmap server.

■

For RHEL 4.8, insert the DVD or CD2 and type:

# rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/portmap-*
