This may be a very basic question but I was wondering if there is a way through the command line to find out which interfaces are using dhcp. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 in case that makes a difference.

Code:

I have installed dhcp3-server via apt-get install dhcp3-server, but I couldn't find any initscript. So, how can I start and stop it properly ?
For now , I have added "dhcpd" line in rc.local.
I don't really have a reason for this currently. I recognize all the MAC address on my DHCP client list and keep it rather well locked down. I was just wondering if there was something I could run on the terminal to get more information on a given MAC address on my network. Something kind of like whois for websites.

View 1 Replies View RelatedBack in April I set up a Ubuntu DHCP server and a multiple VLAN network [URL] to migrate our various servers, workstations, etc off the 192.168.1.1 /24 network that everything was on because we where running out of address space. I built out the new network and everything worked great except our AD server would never get an IP address from the DHCP server (static reservation) and even if I set the IP statically on the AD server it couldn't ping the gateway and noone could log in. After several attempts to resolve this, including bringing in outside help, we where never able to figure out what the problem was.
Now 6 months later I have time to revisit the issue without effecting the live network. I used Acronis and imaged the AD server last Friday, cloned it on to another box with the same hardware, and put it up on the new network that's been sitting unused for the last 6 months. Today when I statically set the IP on the AD server (which is what I want) it connects and I can ping it's gateway 192.168.1.1 and all the way across vlans to a test sales agent workstation at 192.168.8.xxx on vlan 800 but only if I statically assign the agents station an IP address. When I try to get an IP address via DHCP it fails as destination unreachable. Nothing has changed in the last 6 months on the DHCP server but now it for some reason can't ping its default gateway 192.168.1.1. All of the config files are the same as they where left from the post linked above aside from the vlan id's used where changed from 1's to 100's (i.e. vlan 3 is now vlan 300) /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto vlan100
iface vlan100 inet static
[code]....
why it can't reach the gateway, when I do a tcpdump I can see the DHCP requests come in on eth0 but the server never responds and I'm pretty sure its because it isn't "seeing" them since it thinks there isn't a network connection but I don't know how to trouble shoot to find out where the problem lies.

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?
On a remote system, when all you have is the ssh CLI -
How do you find out the ip addresses for:the Gateway
the DHCP server
the DNS server
Don't need to make any changes.
Which commands will display this info?
Currently I have my eth0 interface getting a DHCP address but at times the DHCP server will not be reachable. Sooo what I would like my server to do is if it cannot find a DHCP server assign a static address to eth0. Then start the DHCP service so it can then dish out some addresses.How can I do this? Surely it is possible

View 4 Replies View RelatedAt present, I have:
a Netgear router with DHCP off at 192.168.0.1 my computer
eth0 at 192.168.0.2
wlan0 at 192.168.0.2
The wlan0 interface always connects to the router, while the eth0 interface connects to other computers with crossover and acts as a dnsmasq DHCP server for network boot and installation.
If I use the Gnome NetworkManager to enable both connections, that is, with wlan0 connected to the router/internet and eth0 to another computer, both as 192.168.0.2, I cannot access the internet while eth0 is connected.
Why is this? How can I configure my computer to follow wlan0 for Internet usage, but use eth0 for itself (the latter is working but blocking wlan0).
I am using wvdial to connect to a mobile network (I have a usb modem) and it works fine. However, I wanted to automate the connection a bit (currently I am running wvdial every time I want to connect).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm often on my corporate network but also need to be on another network simultaneously. At the moment I have to manually switch back and forth between the two. I'm using ubuntu 10.04. I've come across an excellent document that explains how to do this: "Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO" by Bart Hubert. He mentions:
make sure that your kernel is compiled with the "IP: advanced router" and "IP: policy routing" features
I've downloaded the kernel sources, but I don't find any config options with names like these in them.
sudo apt-get build-dep --no-install-recommends linux-image-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
Searching doesn't reveal anything
~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$ grep -iR policy . | grep -i routing
~/kernelBuild/linux-2.6.35/debian.master$
So my question is...how can I tell if the kernel I have has these config options. Failing that, how do I build a kernel that does support these things?
Additional use cases for this knowledge. (1) At work with desktop computer plugged into corporate network. Plug 3g phone into USB port. My corporate network wont allow me to access my external servers over ssh, but the 3g phone will. (2) At home on the corporate VPN, but would like to access my other local network computers.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to route different applications through different network interfaces?
Let's say (hypothetically) I want to route /usr/bin/thunderbird through vlan0 but /usr/bin/firefox through eth0.
Is there a way? And if so, is there a graphical tool for it as well?
I have two physical NICs (eth2 & eth3) with eth2 connecting to the home router/dhcp server and eth3 connecting to another machine which needs access to the internet. I'm trying to create a bridge so that the second machine on eth3 can be connected on the lan. I've tried the following, however it hangs when attempting to get an IP address from the router. Likewise, attempting to give it a static route doesn't seem to work either.
$ sudo aptitude install bridge-utils
$ sudo ifconfig eth2 down
$ sudo ifconfig eth3 down
$ sudo brctl addbr br0
$ sudo brctl addif br0 eth2 eth3
$ sudo dhclient br0 # this hangs and fails to get a dhcp address
I've tried to ensure my routing table mimics what it looks like when using eth2 normally, I cannot hit the gateway at all.
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 br0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br0
I attempted an 'arping' to the MAC address of the router while I had eth2/3 bridged, but it failed to obtain it's IP address as well. One interesting thing I noticed was that attempting to bring down the bridge & reactivate my internet on eth2, I was having trouble pinging the gateway. It turned out 'ipmasq' had been installed and was running causing odd problems. When I stopped the ipmasq service, my internet started working properly again. I removed the 'ipmasq' package entirely and tried bridging the NICs again thinking it may have been causing problems, but it still failed.
I have two HP servers which have a total of 10 Ethernet ports each, both running RHEL 5.7. I need to make sure that Ethernet ports are mapped to the same devices in Linux on both systems (see below) because these servers must be identical (the second box is a drop-in replacement in case the first system fails).The ethernet ports on the first system are mapped as follows:
Device Port
eth0 Intel Dual Port Card, Port 1 (Rightmost Port)
eth1 Dual, Port 2
[code]....
We have a server and a target board. Most of the times I am able to mount the server through network file system. But sometimes it is observed that mounting hangs. When this happens, it was noted that both ethernet interfaces are up. Now when I make one down,mount works properly. The interface which I made down was having dummy(default) IP address, gateway etc.

Also, this computer(A) is on a LAN at my house. It has two network interfaces(eth0 & eth1), both on different subnets. I can connect from another computer(B) on my LAN to this one on one interface(eth0) via SSH just fine. The other interface(eth1) on this computer is hooked up to it's own gateway to the internet using DSL. I'm using this interface(eth1) for running bind.
Anyhow, here's my issue. When using a computer(C), which is a hosted VM , from outside my LAN, to connect to computer(A) via SSH, I get connection refused. So I checked my hosts.deny & hosts.allow files, both empty. I run nmap from computer C and SSH comes up as closed. So I'm thinking it's a firewall issue.
Here's what my iptables -L looks like:
Code:
I've been meaning to learn more about iptables, but which chain is for which network interface? I have also tried running nmap from computer(C) to test bind out on tcp 53 that comes up closed. I run udp 53 and that comes up as closed but then again udp is funny because it's stateless. If I run netcat on udp port 53 from computer C I get a blank line as if it's still running. However, I get that for all other ports anyways so that's of no use.
Unless my AT&T DSL is blocking those ports. But if that were the case would the error 'Connection refused' come up when I try to connect via SSH?
What other tests can I run to troubleshoot?
I had been using Guarddog for iptables but I updated to KDE4 and guarddog does not work with KDE4, neither does Firestarter. Is there a Graphical interface for iptables available that works with KDE4?
