# 14.4. Starting the `tftp` Server

On the DHCP server, verify that the `tftp-server` package is installed with the command `rpm -q tftp-server`. If it is not installed, install it via Red Hat Network or the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD-ROMs. For more information on installing RPM packages, refer to Part III Package Management.

`tftp` is an xinetd-based service; start it with the following commands:

    /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 xinetd on
    /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 tftp on

This command configures the `tftp` and `xinetd` services to immediately turned on and also configures them to start at boot time in runlevels 3, 4, and 5.
