+==== Step 6 - Start and enable xinetd, dhcp and vsftpd service ====
+Use the beneath commands to start and enable xinetd, dhcp and vsftpd.
+<code>
+# systemctl start xinetd
+# systemctl enable xinetd
+# systemctl start dhcpd.service
+# systemctl enable dhcpd.service
+# systemctl start vsftpd
+# systemctl enable vsftpd
+</code>
+In Case SELinux is enabled, then set the following selinux rule for ftp server.
+<code>
+# setsebool -P allow_ftpd_full_access 1
+</code>
+At the End, open all the needed ports in the OS firewall using following firewall-cmd commands
+<code>
+# firewall-cmd --add-service=ftp --permanent
+# firewall-cmd --add-service=dhcp --permanent
+# firewall-cmd --add-port=69/tcp --permanent
+# firewall-cmd --add-port=69/udp --permanent
+# firewall-cmd --add-port=4011/udp --permanent
+# firewall-cmd --reload
+</code>
