i have a lucid server box running a dhcp server and webmin.i want to bridge openvpn to the network that the dhcp server serves.all the configurations ive seen, id essentially have to install openvpn onto a computer underneath the dhcp server to accomplish this.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm curious if anybody can shed some light for me in this department. We're in a large environment with a Windows DHCP Server. We have been tinkering with LTSP on Edubuntu as thin and fat clients. It works great, but right now we just have 1 server handling the lab, which works fine unless we want to expand, which may be very possible.
These are the instructions I received:
Login to your windows server and load the DHCP configuration screen
Create a DHCP reservation for the MAC address you obtained
Add the configuration options below to enable the machine to boot from the LTSP server
017 Root Path: /opt/ltsp/i386
066 Boot Server Host Name: <ip address>
067 Bootfile Name: ltsp/arch/pxelinux.0 # Specify CPU architecture in place of 'arch', for instance 'i386'

I'm curious, what if I want to have multiple Ubuntu servers on the network that I want to have bootable? For example, let's say I have 3 labs, and 3 servers. Server A to Lab A, Server B to Lab B, and Server C to Lab C. I want all C's computers to boot to C, and B to B, A to A, etc.
1 - How would I add multiple entries on the Windows DHCP Server to allow all 3 (A B C) servers to boot?
2 - How would I be able to isolate the clients so ONLY Lab A clients boot to Server A, etc?
Ive tried on multiple occasions to setup a dhcp server, but all the google searches return legitimate results it seems, and ill set everything up, except the last few instructions i have to configure /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf and /etc/default/dhcp3-server, but ubuntu says its not there.Im running Ubuntu Server 11.04 and using nano to edit files

I want to change them back to the local DNS servers but I can't find an obvious/easy way to get those address short of a) reconfiguring the router's network to DHCP them (would rather not interrupt everyone) or b) calling their tech support (kill me now!). Is there a command line tool/command I can use to query the DHCP server on the external NIC to see what DNS servers it would set me up with w/o munging my existing setup?

I'm establishing a server that runs DHCP server, NAT gateway and VPN server. It have two physical interfaces, one for intranet and one for internet. The NAT gateway will give internet access for intranet. Another site will connect to this server by VPN. I need the server to assign a different subnet for that site other than the local site. Do anyone know how to config the DHCP server? Should I config the client classing, and how to do it?

[code]....
Networking is not exactly my strong suit, but I would like to get this up and running if at all possible.
Back 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.

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

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 am trying to install Ubuntu server edition on an old HP XT963 that recently came into my possession. I mainly just wanted to use it as a home file server and print server. I have been running ubuntu desktop on my laptop for a little under a year, but this is my first go at the server edition.
While ubuntu was installing it said "network autoconfiguration failed," I hit continue, thinking I could figure out how to configure it later. After lots of googling I still haven't figured out what exactly is wrong.
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopack
after googling around I made it look like:

I would like to provide more information such as ifconfig and any other commands but I'm not exactly sure how I would do that without being able to copy/paste. I guess I would have the command dump the output to a file, but I'm not familiar with the -options this being my first time CLI-only.
This dhcp server is configured with redhat enterprise edition. I found that logs are generating in the following path /var/log my doubt is how can i setup the logs generating for a specified day.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am setting up dhcp server for my public library and need to divide clients into a number of pools on the same network. The different ranges will be for different filtering requirements via squid/dansguard proxy. I have inhouse clients: staff, adult patron, and child patron, that have different filtering requirements and wireless guests that I want to shorter lease times to handle the rapid turnover rate. Trying to understand the terse manual, you assign pools via allow/deny members of classes, but classes are assigned by matching on mac address or vendor ids. Unfortunately as a poor rural library we have a hodge-podge of hardware with no matchable pattern. So I can solve the inhouse clients by using fixed-address, and remove them from the dynamic pool. Now the dhcp server would be serving only the short term wireless guests from the pool.
A common problem at libraries, you always get a few that are compelled to misbehave and break the libraries TOS. In the past the librarians would kick the offenders out of the library only to have them link in from the step or parking lot. Since I have their mac address in their initial lease I would like to prevent them from reestablishing a connection when they are banned.
My thinking is this; the library's computers are static and not part of the pool, the wireless clients would be unknown-clients, so set the pool to allow only unknown-clients, and for the "bad-boys" add their hosts in a group directive would make them "known" and therefore unable to get a IP from the dhcp server.
group {
host banned1 { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:01; }
host banned2 { hardware ethernet 00:00:00:95:a6:c1; }
host banned3 { hardware ethernet 0c:f1:b6:fe:00:01; }
}

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have been rtying for a couple of days now to set up a local dns/dhcp server with dnsmasq on a ubunut server 10.04 I followed the basic instructions from several websites, starting with the ubuntu community one, didnt work, then tried some other, and nothing.
In the server the dns works, i test with dig example.com and i can see the time difference, so dns is working. so the problem is not making the dns work but to make the server listen for dns and dhcp resquests and respond to them.
I have desactivated the dhcp from the router so thats not the problem. making a windows box ping the server works, so the network is configured correctly.
dnsmaq is listed as "LISTEN" on netstat, i read in some blog that it should be using ports 67 and 68 but those are no listed, neither i configured them in any moments, none of the instructions i followed mentioned sth about that. i even tried configuring the window box with the ips and dns accordingly and that wouldnt work either.
so in conclusin i have dnsmasq that does have dns set up but wont answer to any requests of either DNS nor DHCP.
I'm have a number of ubuntu servers that all have dual nics.One interface is used to assign a static public ip and the other is used to assign a static internal IP that can be used on the internal network.The interfaces pull IP's from completely separate gateways on different networks.The problem I face now it that our internal network is moving everything to DHCP on the internal side.I can configure my /etc/network/interfaces so that I can get a public static Ip and a private DCHP, but the problem is that the public IP no longer functions for any services.here is an example of my interfaces

I'm trying to install Ubuntu server on an older 05-06 Desktop (IBM) and when I get to the Configuration part it stops right around 95% and the prompt reads that configuration failed do to the fact that my unit is running a non DHCP Network or my machine is two slow. Now it does only have 1 gig in it right now so I'm thinking that might be the problem also. But if it is a DHCP issue how can I install UBUNTU or is it even possible?
