Server :: Configuring Dhcpd.conf With Ip Reservations?
Mar 11, 2010
While configuring dhcpd.conf on centos 4 I couldn't find option to reserve that ip addresses. I have subnet of 10.0.0.0 network of which i want reserve 1 - 50 addresses for my servers. I'll assign static ips to my servers & printers.
Is there any way to associate a group to subnet in dhcpd.conf? I want hosts in a specific group to be locked to an IP range defined in subnet. Something like this:
I have a router with ddwrt on it that runs a DHCP server. What I want to do is only allow people who have pre-determined MAC addresses to get an address to get on my network. That being said I have a VM set up as a DHCP Server. Since doing this I will be setting the dhcp settings on my router to be a forwarder to the VM. Is there a way to allow only static leases in the dhcpd.conf file? I do not just any computer on my network to get an address I want to base it on MAC addresses.
i have installed dhcp server on RHEL5.after instalation when i want to restart it.it shows failed message. rpm package is also installed.(dhcp-3.0.5-13.el5) dhcpd.conf file is also in /etc directory
I have tried creating the file and giving it permissions to be accessed, but that isn't solving the issue. I tried to go through some of the older fixes, and one was really close to working but lacked the same folders as I have.
EDIT: one solution that worked was to use ln -s /var/run/dhcp3-server/dhcpd.pid /var/run/dhcpd.pid dhcpd3 -cf /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf at0
I have a dual monitor setup (Twinview), both monitors are connected to my 1xNvidia MSI NX8600GT card...I've been using a 21.6inch HannsG HG216D (herein referred to as HG216D) monitor as my LEFT monitor, and a Dell 1905fp (herein referred to as 1905fp) as my RIGHT monitor.
I recently got rid of the 19inch 1905fp Dell monitor and moved my HG216D to the RIGHT and now I have a new 23inch DELL S2309W (herein referred to as S2309W) on the left. The new S2309W is connected to my computer via DVI cable and is configured Perfectly at it's native 1920x1080 resolution.
However I can't for the life of me get my HG216D back to it's native 1680x1050. The HG216D is connected via VGA cable that is also routed thru a KVM, I realize this means that this monitor can't/won't be auto-configured. However I should be allowed to set it manually right?...
Code:
Won't let me select 1680x1050 for the HG216D resolution, it will only let me select 1440x900 MAX, there is no option for 1680x1050, (See attached: screenshot)
I've tried to manually edit my /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but after hours on end messing with it, I give UP...
Here is my current xorg.conf:
Code:
I am just not sure what I need to change and how to get the second xorg.conf to play nice via a VGA connection?
Ubuntu Server 9.10I want to set up my dhcp server to also be my DNS server so do I skip these lines or point them at the same server that the config file is on?
I've been scanning the apache2 docs for the past few days and have not come up with an answer my following issue:
In my httpd.conf file, at the very end, I have the line
Include conf/vhosts/vhost_*.conf
However, when I run apache checkconfig or try to start apache, it gives me the error:
httpd: Syntax error on line 993 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/vhost_1.conf: Permission denied
It appears as if the Include line is correct - in terms of it grabbing the first virtual host conf file. However, I'm confused on the permissions. the /etc/httpd folder is owned by root:root, as are the subfolders. As a test, I chown'd the conf/vhost folder combination and all the vhost files to apache:apache to see if that made a difference, and it appeared to make no difference at all. The log files don't contain anything (assumed because apache isn't starting). If I place the contents of the vhosts in a singular vhosts.conf it works - with the permissions set to root:root. I'd like to avoid having to use one vhosts conf for the configuration I'm trying to achieve - as it would make my life a lot easier.
I have a question regd. reservations for the system GID's/UID's in Redhat. I understand that numbers <500 are reserved for systems and >500 for users. In the former, is there a range that is reserved for private use (like the 10. range in the case of IP addresses)? I need to create a system group and user and specify a GID and UID and I would like to make sure that the numbers do not conflict with some other package.
Have DHCP3 running on an ubuntu server. Using config of the below but the 10.1.1.2 address is being given to a windows pc (which does not have that MAC address). Tried getting windows to release ip address, then clearing the lease file and restarting dhcp3 service, then renewing dhcp request from windows, but address 10.1.1.2 is still given.
it appears i haven't quite grasped the meaning of dhcpd.conf despite the numerous tutorials i went through in the internet and the detailed read of dhcpd.conf that i did. what i basically want to put you in perspective, is to have all the pc's in my home network (desktops and laptops) regardless of any other settings, to send their computer name (hstname basically) to the dhcpd (during the handshake)... then the dhcpd will use that name as the hostname and append the known domain name, thus creating an entry (an A record and a PTR record) in BIND....
so say a laptop comes into wifi range of the domain "myhome.org."... i take it that during handshake, the laptop will send its hostname (i don't know what that will be for winXP and win7 dhcp clients, but i presume it will send the output of command 'hostname' for linux clients - or at least thats what i would like it to send....).say "nass-notebook" Then the server will append "myhome.org." and it will update the DNS with an entry looking like[URL].. corresponding to some ip address.
I am trying to provide dynamic IP addresses for devices that are on a different VLAN (101). The server is currently providing 172.17.x.x/16 range for its own VLAN (417). My server is RHEL4 and DHCPD is version 3.0.1. The core switch (Cisco 3750) is configured with ip-helper on VLAN 101 interfacce. Here is my dhcpd.conf file:
I have a RHEL 5 64bits installed on a virtual server. I set up a a dhcpd server for one subnet last week and I have a strange behavior : the IPs are provided in a decreasing order. What's the? So I have tried to exchange range values but the result remains the same.

I have setup a dhcpd server on my lan with the following option to reflect the static route to my private LAN.
dhcpd.conf
Code: option static-routes 10.0.0.0 192.16.5.0
I've tested it on OpenSUSE, ArchLinux and even Windows dhcp clients and they've managed to pull the static route configuration. However, to my suprise on my ubuntu machines this doesn't seem to load. Is there anything that needs to be done on the client's side to get this to work?
subnet IP netmask MASK { range IP START IP END ; default-lease-time 86400; max-lease-time 172800; }
And now in the /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.lease file, there few entrie for the same IP. Sometime I've ten same entries for the same IP. Can I have only one entrie by IP? Is there any problems in my configuration of my dhcpd.conf file?
My Yum server gives error message while installing packages like rpmts_HdrformFdno: Header V3 DSA Signature: NOKEY, KEY, Key ID 37017186" Samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5.i386 rpm is not install.
But I can install other package like bind dhcpd etc.
I've been using dhcpd for address assignments to PCs for a very long time with no issues. I recently upgraded from lenny to squeeze and now dhcpd seems to have new behavior which I can't seem to change. Here's what I want to do. First, I have a simple situation and don't want to get involved with dynamic DNS updates. I have host statements for each of my PCs and a range statement for cases where I install a new device and don't yet have a host statement for it. Previously, I could discover the ethernet address for the new device from the dhcpd log and add a host statement with an address of my choosing for the new device.
I'd then restart dhcpd and do something like reboot the device or issue an ipconfig /renew statement on the new PC. What would happen is that the old dynamically assigned IP address would be NAKed and the device would do a DHCPDISCOVER, etc. and get the new IP address I specified in the dhcpd.conf host statement. In squeeze, this no longer works. The client asks for the old address it got dynamically and the server just says yes. I can't seem to find a way to get it to NAK the dynamic address and use the new address I've specified in the host statement. I'd appreciate any enlightenment on how this is now supposed to be done. Here's my simplified dhcpd.conf file:
I have a dhcpd server running CentOS and Webmin. I noticed in my lists of expired leases some of the lease times are only a few hours even thought I have lease length set to 1 week. I want to keep a lease for a week even if the device requests that it be expired. Is there some way I can do this in dhcpd? I am attaching a screenshot of some of my lease times listed in Webmin.
this should be trivial for all you big sysadmin guys My box is a firewall/gateway. ETH0 is on the Internet-side, and is fully auto-configured (DHCP client) from my ISP. ETH1 is on the LAN-side, has DHCPD enabled, and I route the traffic to/from the Internet via iptables (NATting, of course). Everything works pretty good, except for the DNS-server assignment via DHCP: how can I configure dhcpd.conf to assign the SAME dns-server I receive from my provider on ETH0 to all my PC on ETH1?
I would like to make my Fedora 13 box a DHCP server for my network. I can not find dhcpd in YUM. Is there a way to make my Fedora box a dhcp server? This was relay easy with Suse, but my Opensuse box just suffered a hard drive failure.
I am setting up LDAP server, i set slapd.conf(dc=proldap,dc=com) and start ldap it is OK but when i check using ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts result is : namingContexts: dc=my-domain,dc=com
it seems that it did not use my slapd.conf so i tried removing my slapd.conf from /etc/openldap and start slapd again and it did start with no errors. and when i do ldapsearch again still uses dc=my-domain,dc=com
I tried searching about this in google and found no answers,
my reference in setting up ldap is the link below. but it seemed that it always uses another configuration not the one i modified
I'm using Fedora12, ldap version 2.4.19. i installed ldap by yum install url
I hv Cent OS 5.3 installed as server. I hv a network of approx 100 desktops and laptops. For a security purpose i want to block certain laptops from gaining a the network access using dhcp. Can we block the ip address leasing if a specific MAC address request for a ip lease?
I have setup a CentOS 5.5 server as a DHCP server. That will be it's only task in a Cisco callmanger VoIP environment The DHCP server that comes with CentOS 5.5 is from ISC V3.0.5 -redhat.
The server (HP DL360) has two physical NIC's of which only NIC1 is used (ETH0)
ifconfig shows:
Code:
The interface has a fixed IP setup.
My dhcp.conf file looks like this:
Code:
When I start (try to) dhcpd via the service interface or via the prompt as
Code: service dhcpd start
I get an [FAILED] message and the following is in /var/log/messages
Code:
But when I start the DHCPD on the comamnd prompt in debug mode it looks as follows:
Code:
and /var/log/messages shows:
Code:
Why does the system ask a declaration for eth0 0.0.0.0?
