DHCP without DHCP

OSD implementation requires a DHCP server. Now the condition is that I don’t have DHCP server .

So is there any solution for do the same thing without a DHCP server.

Yes, but you won’t be able to bare-metal boot from the network.
You can either create Network Boot Media, usually a USB flash drive, that you can use to boot the target computer, supply IP info manually, and download the install image from the OSD server; or create Offline Installation Media, which includes both the boot and the installation image to handle it offline completly

From the ‘OS Deployment - Bundle and Media Manager’ dashboard, start by selecting whichever machine has the MDT Bundle Creator installed, then click ‘Create Deployment Media’. The Wizard will then step you through whether to ‘Create Offline Deployment Media’ (contains both the Boot image and a target OS image, for fully-offline deployment) or to ‘Create Network boot media’ (contains only a Boot image to get connected to the network without PXE, and then downloads one of the OS images from a Bare Metal Server).
