Ubuntu Networking :: Setup A Dhcpd Server On Lan?
Jul 22, 2010
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?

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

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
[code].....
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.
Package version installed :
yum info dhcp

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:
Code:
authoritative;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.100;
option blah1;

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'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.

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?

How can I start dhcpd after Network manager has set up a new connected device. The reason being that dhcpd will not start when there is nothing connected to the network interface. Therefore I would like dhcpd to start after a new device is connected. Now I have found references if ifup-post but this does not relate to NM, is this correct?

I'm having some trouble with getting my DHCP service up and running on my server. Below is my /etc/dhcpd.conf file, which I believe is the right file necessary to get this service up and running correctly. When I do service dhcpd restart it just show in red letter [Failed] next to it.
Code:
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 10.2.3.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 {
# --- default gateway
#option routers 10.2.1.1;

I'm trying to get dhcpd to use a specific IP address as the source address for responses it uses an IP address for. I coded "local-address 172.30.0.4" in the config file. For some responses it uses this address. For some other responses it does not. In those cases it uses the IP address that is the first on the interface. Is there another configuration I should be using, instead?

I set up a ubuntu server 10.04 lts as file server in a network filled with xp, win 2003 and win 2008.
I noticed that if from any bill's SO machine i copy a file (for example a vob file of 1gb, or a lot of doc and pdf files) in the samba server, while the copy is in progress if in another windows I browse other folders shared in Samba, the copy process stops and say ' the name in the network is no more available( or something like this). It seems that samba pay attention on the fact that a user is browsing the share and doing so it seems that Samba forget that in one of its share there was a copy in progress, very annoing. A file server cannot do that, in this way is useless.

How to find IP address of computers in LAN served by simple DHCPd (in ADSL modem - without IP reservations/MAC address).
So is in Ubuntu something like on-fly name resolution in Windows ? Without running DNS server with some kind of DynDNS ?
e.g.
My comp has hostname "GoGo" but I get random IP address from DHCP.
How can other PC on same LAN resolve my changing IP address ?

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 ubuntu 11.04, so I type the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000, this simple web server will be running on. then open firefox, type http://localhost:7000 in URL and hit enter,it will show up the list of files of the directory where I typed the command python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000 on, then select any one file, right click mouse, choose save link as, the file will be downloaded. this works also for local network machines.the issue is that my friend, in a remote place, wants to download my files via this simple web server, but it does not work, even I tell him my IP address and port number. it seems he can't access it at all. I am wondering how to setup my ubuntu so that my friends from the outside of my network can access the files that I intend to provide.

I'm trying to setup two samba shares on ubuntu server 10.04.1 lts x64
The first is a Read-Only share for windows users that doesn't require a password. This i've managed to do so far.
The second is a Password protected Upload share. So far I am able to have both shares (which access the same directory) but am unable to log in to the pass word protected share.
I know i'm not doing things quite right, and would like a little bit of help
The smb.conf file is the default ubuntu file with these added shares:
Code:
[NAS]
Comment = Network Attached Storage
path = /media/RAID/NAS
browseable = yes
[Code].....
