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.

I've a question about how work dhcpd. I'm on CentOS 5.6. I has a dhcpd server on it. His configuration:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
deny declines;
deny bootp;
option domain-name "mydomain.domain";
option domain-name-servers IP;
option routers IP;
option time-offset -18000;
#option ntp-servers IP;
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?
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've found a lot of pages of how to fix the issue on older releases of dhcpd and ubuntu.
#>dhcpd
#> ...
#> Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid: Permission denied.
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 openSUSE10.2(X86-64) Linux DHCP Server in my environment. It has a lot of VM's and Desktop systems which get added continuously. Also, it has a lots of Static-IP entries.Part-IIssue:The DHCP Server stopped leasing the IP's somehow.Workaround:1. Stopped the dhcpd service. (service dhcpd stop)2. Navigated to /var/lib/dhcp/db folder.3. Deleted the "dhcpd.leases" and "dhcpd.leases~" files.4. Recreated the "dhcpd.leases" file. (touch dhcpd.leases)5. Started the dhcpd service. (service dhcpd stop)

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:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
omapi-port 7911;
shared-network eth1

However my laptop on the VLAN 101 keeps getting IP of 172.17.x.x/16 range..
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?
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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:
authoritative;
log-facility daemon;
ddns-update-style none;
[code]....
Note that the address here was assigned based on a previous range statement and isn't consistent with the above config file.
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?

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?
Was trying to understand the behavior of TCP when the server becomes unreachable . For this I am using vsftpd and the default linux ftp client to check the behavior.I was trying the following things. Was Trying to download a file from an FTP server using the FTP client as anonymous user. While the file is getting downloaded, I removed the network cable from the FTP server to understand the behavior of TCP when the server becomes unreachable.
As per the functionality of TCP/IP , when the server becomes unreachable for whatever reason , the client tries retransmitting the data till it can send the data or it timeouts. But in my above experiment using FTP , I can see that the FTP client is not trying to retransmit data at all . This I came to know using by sniffing FTP traffic at the client side. Is this expected or default FTP client available in Linux does not obey TCP/IP functionality properly ?
Since May 12,2009. Our system lifekeeper has the error log "lifekeeper error: DEVICE FAILURE on SCSI device '/dev/add'", but it ran normally. Until last week, it failover to the standby server. The disk still running, the error still come out.
