Pretty much. Reduce the lease time on the current DHCP server to make
the transition more expeditious. Obviously, you only want one DHCP
server issuing IP addresses per any subnet to avoid conflicts. So, you
would want to stop the DHCP service on the existing server, and then
initiate the DHCP service on the new server.
Here is pretty basic example of a dhcp.conf file:
default-lease-time 10600;
max-lease-time 10600;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "domain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2;
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-dd-server 192.168.1.1;
option netbios-node-type 8;
option netbios-scope "";
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
}
