Hi all,
It's been a while since I originally posted about this, and I've
done a
lot of experimenting without landing on a working setup.
I'm trying to get a very simple test case working, where I have a
number
of vnet interfaces, all configured with the link-local address
169.254.0.1/16, and have dnsmasq allocate the leases out of a
different
range (in this case, I'm using a portion of the documentation prefix,
203.0.113.0/29). Here's my configuration:
pid-file=/var/lib/dnsmasq-vnet/dnsmasq-vnet.pid
bind-dynamic
interface=vnet*
log-dhcp
no-hosts
dhcp-range=203.0.113.0, 255.255.255.248, 1d
From (1):
" this dhcp-range MUST include the netmask."
Unless I'm missing something, I don't see a subnet mask being
specified.

Hi John,
Unless I'm missing something 255.255.255.248 is a netmask, and dnsmasq
doesn't appear to support CIDR notation in dhcp-range
specifications. At
least, when I attempt to use /29 instead, it fails to start, saying:
dnsmasq: bad dhcp-range at line 41 of /var/lib/dnsmasq-vnet/dnsmasq.conf
Snippet dnsmasq manual page
--dhcp-range=[tag:<tag>[,tag:<tag>],][set:<tag>,]<start-addr>[,<end-addr>|<mode>][,<netmask>[,<broadcast>]][,<lease
time>]
So
dhcp-range=203.0.113.0, 255.255.255.248, 1d
should be something like
} } } dhcp-range=203.0.113.0, 203.0.113.7,255.255.255.248, 1d

If so, the
--dhcp-range=[tag:<tag>[,tag:<tag>],][set:<tag>,]<start-addr>[,<end-addr>|<mode>][,<netmask>[,<broadcast>]][,<lease
time>]
should be
--dhcp-range=[tag:<tag>[,tag:<tag>],][set:<tag>,]<start-addr>[,<end-addr>|<mode>],<netmask>[,<broadcast>][,<lease
time>]
or even
--dhcp-range=[tag:<tag>[,tag:<tag>],][set:<tag>,]<start-addr>,<end-addr>|<mode>,<netmask>[,<broadcast>][,<lease
time>]
