Hi,
I tried to setup the dhcp-beta (server) under slink. The machine
has two interfaces. I would like to serve only one, say eth1.
I edited the dhcp.conf file, the server was started but the
clients couldn't get dynamic IPs. Both, Win98 and Linux clients.
The conf file has just simple entries, since a single
192.168.9.0/24 range will be served.
The relevant parts are:
-------------
server-identifier 192.168.9.1 # eth1
option domain-name "boo.br";
option domain-name-servers 200.136.xx.xxx;
subnet 192.168.9.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.9.2 192.168.9.254;
option domain-name-servers 200.136.xx.xxx;
some other options; # I didn't recall from memory
}
----------------
What could be wrong with this? What else should I configure?
The eth1 interface support MULTICAST. Even though, I set I route
for 255.255.255.255 manually, but didn't help.
With tcpdump, I can see bootp and bootps being sent to
255.255.255.255. The clients machines, when booted in Win98, auto assign
some random IP if can't get via DHCP. After this I can see bogus data
being generated from them. So the network cables are okay! If I define
appropriated routes, I can even ping them.
Please, I would appreciate any help, hint or suggestion on this.
Under your 'some other options', make sure you include:
option routers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; # This default gateway passed to clients
option subnet-mask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx # The subnet mask passed to clients
