CentOS 5 Networking :: Configure DHCP Client To Register Itself To DNS Server?
Aug 23, 2010
I'm new to CentOS and has recently use it.
I'm looking for a way to configure DHCP client so it would dynamically set the hostname and register itself to a DNS server. I don't have access to the DNS server.
I am puzzled with trying to configure a linux (openSUSE) client to dhcp to eBox DHCP server. I am using dhclient to lease an IP address with dhclient eth0 -s 10.45.48.108 and get a response
openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 interval 4 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPOFFER from 10.45.48.108 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 10.45.48.108 port 67 openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: Network is unreachable openSUSE11232CL1 dhclient: send_packet: please consult README file regarding broadcast address.
The server reports eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0 eBox141 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.45.200.2 to 00:0c:29:3e:57:a3 (openSUSE11232CL1.domain.net) via eth0
I interpret this as the server receives the request and the client accepting it but the lease does not last long and the connection breaks. what this could be and why the connection breaks? Or my undestanding is totally wrong on how it works and should work? And BTW, where is that README file that's referenced in the message I receive on the client?
I have Centos 5 installed on a PC in the local network. I have installed the RPM dhcpv6-client-1.0.10-16.el5.i386.rpm on this PC to configure it as DHCP V6 client. The RPM was installed successfully, and I have done modifications to the following files:
1. /etc/sysconfig/network, set the networking to yes. 2. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 set the BOOTPROTO=DHCP.
Now the problem is when I start the client on this pc as dhclient, it throws the following errors, and logs out after some time. All the network configurations were lost and the PC gets disconnected from the network.

I have a Lan with 100 computers with microsoft windows xp and vista on it, and I need to build a CentOS Primary domain control- PDC. So I am building a PDC , with samba 3.x +Ldap ( Light Directory Acess Protocol), with static eth0 and DHCP-server( Dynamic Host Control Protocol) on eth1. Eth0 : 192.168.1.3 Eth1 : 192.168.1.5

I have an embedded device for which I've created an html configuration page. This page allows you to set static IPs, dhcp, and can scan for wireless devices.My problem is that in order to access the device it requires that it runs as a dhcp server otherwise people are not assigned an IP and so can not access the embedded devices static IP. (This config page is for the laymen and so they are not the type who are able to set up their own static IPs). One of the potential options is to have the device connect to the network on eth0 acting as a dhcp client. However this prevents me from running a dhcp server.One solution I can think of is running a dhcp server only if it doesn't detect another dhcp server running on the network.
This is probably an odd request, but figured I'd ask in case someone knew. We have a lab that has the IP range 172.10.0.0/16 (255.255.0.0). The lab gateway/DHCP assigns an IP in the range of 172.10.0.2-172.10.0.254. I want to set up my own DHCP server on a specific range, for example 172.10.10.1-172.10.10.254. I create a new host fine, but since it's set for DHCP, it uses the DHCP server at 172.10.0.1. Is there a way to force it to use a different DHCP server on the client side? I realize that I can work around this with exclusions on the 172.10.0.1 DHCP server, or use iptables to deny DHCP requests to specific MACs, but wanted to know if there was an (easier?) way to configure the client to use the 172.10.10.1 DHCP server instead of the 172.10.0.1 server?
in my office we are using cyberoam firewall to manage entire network , in that lot of option is there even we can configure pptp,ipecac vpn also using cyberoam.totally cyberoam acts as a server, how can i configure ppptp vpn in centos 5 as client of the cyberoam, then only i can access the office network from my home.
i already have an eth0 configured to automatically get its info from dhcp.
but i wanna configure eth1 to be able to serve dhcp and dns. i havent configured either dns or dhcp server on the server box since i have not configured the serving interface.
so far my interfaces file is:
Code: # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
I need to place an Ubuntu machine on a network where I have a DHCP server which does not configure the Degault Gateway parameter (we don't want ordinary users to browse the internet). Is it possible to leave the machine using DHCP and define the Default Gateway manually (as in Windows XP i.e.)? How?
I have configured server ubuntu 11.04. Everything works fine, but there is a need for some clients to connect local hard drive. What should I do? How and what modules are added to the ltsp-image? How to register in the fstab on the client? Maybe I'm going the wrong way?
How I am configure DNS Client and server in Redhat Linux 4 in my lab.I have total 5 computers and they are Lan connected.I want to make one of them server and the others are client.
I have installed Centos 5 on a virtual machine (esx4i). I set it to obtain an IP address from the DHCP sever, which is a broadband router, it has been given an IP address of 10.10.11.159 the router is 10.10.11.1 but I can't ping the router and I can't get any access to the network! I have a SCO Openserver server on the same physical box and it works fine so I know the network card & cable is ok.
I am attempting to get this network card running under CentOS 5.2 but have had no luck. Some sites say to use the sk98lin driver, others the skge, which I can't find at all. I have tried multiple versions of the driver in rpm but none seem to work. The card shows under the network manager but will not get an IP address from the DHCP server.
Here are the outputs for this card. uname -rmi 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 x86_64 x86_64 lspci -m 04:01.0 "Ethernet controller" "D-Link System Inc" "DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)" -r11 "D-Link System Inc" "DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11)" lspci -n | grep "$(/sbin/lspci | awk '/net/ { print $1 }')" 04:01.0 0200: 1186:4b01 (rev 11) lspci -vv 04:01.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) (rev 11) Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 11) Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 64 (5750ns min, 7750ns max), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 121 Region 0: Memory at febfc000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Region 1: I/O ports at e800 [size=256] Expansion ROM at e0000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1+ D2+ AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1+,D2+,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data
How to get this working as we have 3 of these cards for computers without a Gb NIC and I don't want to fight with it 3 separate times.
I'm trying to make a DHCP server work on my CentOS 5.4 box, but I have placed it on another subnet than the one that it is going to serve. I use a helper address on my router to make the the DHCP requests being routed to the DHCP server on the other subnet.
I got a CentOS server setup as a dhcp server using dnsmasq. I followed this guide more or less: [URL] So, the problem seems to be concerning the DNS server on the clients. In windows I get the "limited connectivity" icon for the network, and when I select troubleshoot it says the DNS server does not respond. Issuing 'ipconfig /all' clearly shows the IP of the CentOS machine as the DNS server, which should be correct, yes?
ETH0 is working as WAN connection and that works great.. no problem with the WAN connection at all on the CentOS machine. ETH1 has the IP 192.168.0.1 and mask 255.255.255.0 When starting eth1, it sometimes says that it can't start eth1 because the IP 192.168.0.1 is already in use.. but that is most certainly not the case. Maybe there's some kind of issue here that messes with the DNS? What's mind boggling is that it works great on a linux machine (dhcp client) and on a windows xp machine. but it does not work on the windows 7 laptop and a vista laptop and a pda device.
configuring DHCP server with two NICs. I need DHCP server with 2 NICs:
eth1 - 192.168.103.11 eth2 - 192.168.123.11
The client also has two NICs and suppose to receive ip addresses eth1 from 192.168.103.0 and eth2 from 192.168.123.0 Here is the dhcpd.conf from dhcp server:
I was just wondering if someone could tell me the best method to connect all my hardwares together to achieve better result.HARDWARES.Cable ModemNETGEAR ROUTERNETGEAR FS728TS Smart switchLINUX SERVER WITH 2NICS.I want my dhcp server to serve 3VLAN networks. I need someone to show me how to do this. What do I need to do. keep in mind, I want eth0 to be used for public address only while eth1 for LAN. DHCP will be on eth0, but I need LAN on eth1 to be relayed back to eth0. This is my school project.
I've got a bit of a question. My network is laid out like this:
The role assignments are thus:
Firewall - sorts out the passing through to the 3 different networks, and acts as the traffic proxy. Windows 2003 server - Does Active Directory and DNS CentOS server - FTP and DHCP
Now, my problem is I need the CentOS server to be able to assign IP address to both networks, however, the CentOS server can *ONLY* be connected via the one interface to the firewall. It needs to assign the Windows 2003 server and the eth0 of the firewall an IP address via static DHCP, but it also needs to able to assign the clients dynamically via any address in the 10.23.1.0/24 range. I was thinking that I would be able to create static only assignments for the servers via their MAC addresses, and only have 1 dynamically assignable entry for the clients, and then get the firewall to allow ports 67 and 68 to flow freely between eth0 and eth1, but I wasn't entirely sure of the best way to do all this.
I have an embedded device which acts as a client, and a server at office. The IP address of the client is allocated by DHCP, so its IP address is actually variable. I would like to know what is the simpliest way to maintain the communication between client and server when DHCP is enabled. I once used socket many years ago to communicate between the client and the server. If I remember it right, I actually bypassed the dynamic IP issues by using the computer name to replace the IP address. Even the client is not at the same local network as the server, the scheme still worked. Correct me if my memory cheated me. if socket is still the best solution for this kind of application involving DHCP? I also heard from someone that it is necessary to implement multicast discovery protocols named BONJOUR, but I don't think it is necessary
I have openvpn tunnel setup between two CentOS servers. One of the CentOS servers also acts as a DHCP server for some client computers.
Server A= OpenVPN server Server B= OpenVPN client (connects to Server A with OpenVPN)
The two CentOS servers can ping each other (172.16.0.0/24) via the tun0.
However, client computer connected to Server B (DHCP server) can't reach 172.16.0.1 (which is the OpenVPN server).
I think I am missing some routing in my "ip route show". Following is the full picture:
What command can I issue to get this fixed? something along ip route add?
There is no firewall service on both end. service iptables stop! I can't bridge eth1 and tun0 as DHCP server might mess up the other side. I can't do a push of "redirect-gateway def1" because then clients loose their IP as they send DHCP requests to Server A.
I wanna configure openssh with key DSA, after configured in server, i can`t use PC (Window) and teraterm ssh in server how can configure key DSA for client ?
I am contemplating the use of DHCP options as a way of passing host-specific information to hosts that are booting disklessly from a network server. My intention is to have the DHCP client request certain options, and use the reply to configure the diskless hosts accordingly. The theory and rules behind all of this seem well documented on web sites such as die.net. However, the practical application of the protocol seems to be a lot less clear. What I am looking for is an explanation of what (existing, I hope) tool(s) are used, and how they are applied so that I can grab information from the DHCP server, and use it in userspace scripts or other programs. Specifically, my intention is to use a locally defined option that would give a host-specific directory name or filesystem to use by the diskless host to obtain host-specific applications and configuration data.
So far, all of the DHCP client documentation I've found relates to the usual function of assigning IPs, etc. I've looked at dhclient-script on a Redhat system and can't figure out the relationship between it and the dhclient program. Clearly, the script is invoked somehow by dhclient, but I don't understand where the transfer of data received from the server gets into the script. Does dhclient just create a list of exported environment variables the child script then gets access too? What are the rules for how variables are created and what variables are created?
I have installed RHEL 5.1 in VMWare 6 I want to configure one RHEL Server with DNS & DHCP Also I would like to PXE boot, whenever I create a new VMWare Client(RHEL), the installation should be initiated via network boot
