This works perfectly, however when I try to add a second client this way it doesnt. I tried to add the above code multiple times as a whole (2 times the above code) but that doesnt work. I also tried to just add more lines under host apex but this also doesnt work.
So my question is: How do I add more of this mac related IP adress assignments in the dhcp.conf?
I am using Ubuntu Server and would like to recieve an email once a day listing mac address's that have requested an ip address that are not in my list of known mac address's.
lookup=`grep $mac /root/dhcp.macs`
#This does not work as the first entry mac1 will be okay but mac2 and mac3 will not
#It will try to use mac2 as the file to look in which won't exist
#I need to make it loop through for each line of the variable and add that to the lookup value diff $mac $lookup
#I think this should differentiate known from unknown if i can get a lookup value

I am setting up a multiboot system with several OS's, multiple versions of Windows & several Linux distros. The main point of it all is just to have a system where I can load up a given version of Windows or Distro of Linux if I need to test something or show someone how something works.
The Problem: 5 versions of Windows installed, all hardware configured and functioning properly (including NIC) All Windows versions obtain DHCP IP addy with no problems.
Installed Red Hat Linux 9 (first of my linux distros) and it autoconfigured all of my hardware and has no problem getting an IP address.
Installed Fedora 8 and it could not obtain an IP address. I fiddled around with the network settings changing this and that, covered all of the options, and it had no effect. By this time I was irritated, so I just formatted and reinstalled the whole thing, which had no effect and resulted in the same problem. I decided to try it again, this time turning off my sound card and nic for the initial installation. After the initial install, I turned on the sound card and booted up to install it, then restarted, turning on the nic to install it. Fedora installed them both, and managed to get an IP address from my router.
I looked at the ifcfg-eth0 file and the only thing that was different from the previous installs was that a line reading "type=ethernet" (I believe thats what it said) was not there in the working install and had been before.
Puzzling and irritating, but Fedora was now working so I moved to the next distro on my list.
openSUSE 11.0 First install I tried the same thing I did with Fedora (turning off the NIC which did not work like it did in Fedora) Second install, left all of my hardware enabled, and made it to the part where it asks to verify your internet connection. I clicked Test, and got this error:
Opening of Connection eth0 device: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip Compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 40) DHCP Client is already running on eth0
I finished the install, and then got on another machine and I searched the net for this error, but could find nothing that specifically applied to my problem. I played around with the network settings, tried a couple of things that I had come across in my search (changed between tulip and dmfe, checked the box for "Request Broadcast Response", ran "service network restart" in Terminal) none of these had any effect.
The most irritating thing about this is that RHL9 had no problem with this whatsoever and it is badly dated, and the much newer distros are choking on it.
I have a MacBook Pro running VirtualBox with Ubuntu 10.10 as a guest. I am trying to run a DHCP server from within the Ubuntu VM. I need to do this in order to run a multicast utility. On a stand alone machine running Fedcora I have this working without fail but within the Ubuntu VM I am having troubles. The DHCP server is starting okay, but when I use a cross over cable connected to a device the device does not ever get an address.I have eth1 bound to my ethernet jack where I am trying to source the addresses, and eth2 bound to my airport which is disabled unless I need internet access.Here is my DHCP.conf file
I just had an ATT Uverse RG installed. However my Smoothwall router that previously worked fine with the ADSL SpeedStream is no longer accepting an address assignment DHCP ip address from this new gateway. (3800HGV-B)Any thoughts ideas or experience working with this hardware? ATT only supports Windows and Mac
I am trying to configure my IPv6 network. My computers are behind a Fedora gateway IPv6-configured, which is working great. But for computers inside my network, it seems I am getting only internal addresses from DHCP. Here is my ifconfig for an internal computer:
My Linux gateway has multiple address to internet: eth0 = 76.148.200.3 eth0:0 = 76.148.200.4 eth0:1 = 76.148.200.5 and it's own gateway which is 76.148.200.2 (probably not relevant) and I also have which is not internet, but local: eth0:2 = 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
They all work fine and tested. Now I am sharing the internet through eth0 (76.148.200.3) to 192.168.0.1/24 and that's working fine. The script I use to do that is here...
Code: #!/bin/sh echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr iptables -t nat --flush iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -d 192.168.0.1/24 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.1/24 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -j LOG iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Now all I want to change in the script is to share it through 76.148.200.4 (eth0:1) instead of what is already sharing through 76.148.200.3 (eth0). I am sure this is easy but can't work it out and iptables doesn't accept 'aliases'. How I can do this by modifying this script?
I have run into a problem that I've tracked down to being a conflict between the "Upstart" init system, and how it handles multiple (alias) IP addresses per physical interface. The summary of the problem is that the interfaces are being configured in the background in parallel with the starting of daemons. One "feature" of this (apparently intended for pluggable devices that would add or remove an interface) is that the network daemons are restarted each time an interface is added (and presumably deleted). But this is a disaster when applied to alias IP addresses.
I first saw the effects of this when during booting Ubuntu Server, the screen showed a message about OpenSSH daemon being restarted ... several times a few seconds apart each. At the time I didn't know what was causing that, but didn't worry because it ultimately was running when I needed it.
But now that I am deploying these servers for specific duty with many IP addresses per system (per network interface), the symptoms are becoming serious, and I need a solution.
1. The IP addresses are coming online too slowly. Apparently the time it takes to restart each daemon is being added to each address being configured.
2. It appears to be disrupting some daemons sometimes. Occaisionally, some daemon just ends up being hung somewhere, or dies. Too many restarts.
3. Sometimes few or even no alias addresses get configured. This might be due to a daemon getting hung, and the whole sequence just not finishing.
4. The "nsd" name server as packaged by Ubuntu doesn't deal well with this at all. It needs all its IP addresses to be up when it starts, or else it won't start. The Ubuntu package of it doesn't including any if-up script at all, although I'm not sure that would do any good.
What I need is a way to configure all these alias IP addresses so they are all configured immediately when the point in time is reached to bring up network interfaces for the first time. These are all static, and all are aliases on ethernet NIC cards plugged into PCIe cards, or integrated in the mainboard. None of them are pluggables. I did run a manual test of "ifconfig" in a loop configuring 2540 alias IP address on eth0 and it only took 2 seconds (no if-up triggers or daemon restarts here). So I know it's fast if nothing else is done between these steps.
Even for pluggable physical interfaces, I see no reason to even try to step through every alias (if it has aliases) with a daemon restart. If an alias IP address is added on later, then I can understand doing it. But if you have a list of 100 aliases for a physical interface, they really should all be done ... or at least attempted ... at once, and do any triggers needed after that.
So, how can I configure or modify Ubuntu Server 9.10 to do that?
I have each alias listed in the "/etc/network/interfaces" file with a separate "auto" and "iface" section for each one, with sequential sub-interface numbers appended to the interface name. I tried it without those sections (e.g. just "address" and other items in sequence) and that prevents the system from even coming up (bootable CD to the rescue to undo that). At least cntrl-alt-del did reboot it.
I tried to attach the /etc/network/interfaces file, but I don't know if it worked because I see no confirmations about it. if it didn't attach and you need to see it, say so, and I'll just paste it in a followup.
iptables and multiple public-facing IP addresses. With the current setup I have a public-facing firewall with iptables which will then forward traffic to a LAN IP. I will hopefully be allotted 1 private IP per public IP, which I hope will make this much more simple. For example, I have server A with the LAN IP of 10.0.0.1 which I would like to have traffic forwarded from 5.0.0.1, the public IP. I also have server B with LAN IP of 10.0.0.2 which I would like to have forwarded from 5.0.0.2, the second public IP. From what I have read and understood, this should be a simple task, however I would just like to double check to make sure that it is in fact possible, and if so, how would it be recommended that I go about doing so. Essentially, I need to forward each public IP to a corresponding LAN IP with all ports.
Fedora 12 running under VirtualBox 3.2.8 w/ Bridged networking Host OS Windows 7
I have 3 IP addresses set up in on my Fedora 12 installation: Directory: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ifcfg-eth0 -> 192.168.0.170 ifcfg-eth0:0 -> 192.168.0.171 ifcfg-eth0:1 -> 192.168.0.172
Hostname is configured to host associated with 192.168.0.170 in /etc/hosts
When I reboot and execute # ifconfig
eth0 is associated with the 172 address and the other addresses are not active. After I run # service network restart
All of the addresses are active and associated with the correct interfaces. Content of my ifcfg files below:
I have a CentOS5 server with dual ethernet adapters + Webmin installed as my Router / Firewall / DHCP server working successfully with 1 static IP from my ISP. I also have 7 additional static IP addresses from my ISP needing to configure to individual servers inside my network. I have configured the additional virtual interfaces, but am lost on how to route data specifically from additional ISP address to specific internal network address.
Below is my desired configuration. 98.173.159.xx1 = eth0 physical interface ==> eth1 192.168.1.1 98.173.159.xx2 = eth0:1 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.10 ==> CentOS Server 2 98.173.159.xx3 = eth0:2 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.20 ==> CentOS Server 3 98.173.159.xx4 = eth0:3 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.30 ==> CentOS Server 4 98.173.159.xx5 = eth0:4 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.40 ==> Mac OS X Server 1 98.173.159.xx6 = eth0:5 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.50 ==> Mac OS X Server 1 98.173.159.xx7 = eth0:6 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.60 ==> Network Attached Storage Server 1 98.173.159.xx8 = eth0:7 virtual interface ==> 192.168.1.70 ==> Windows 2008 Server 1
I recently installed Ubuntu Server 9.10 with the intent of using it as a platform for running a couple of Windows XP virtual machines along with Linux/Ubuntu.
I had no problems getting the server installed. Had no problems getting the network up and running so that I had access to both my internal network as well as external connectivity to the internet. Had no problems getting a VM installed and putting Windows XP inside of it. Had no problems setting up a bridge between the WinXP virtual machine and the physical ethernet card (eth0).
What Im having trouble with is figuring out how to bridge from multiple VMs AND Ubuntu natively through one physical ethernet card.
When I set up the bridge, it knocks out the static IP address of the ethernet card that was set up initially with Ubuntu when first installed before the VM was created and installed. Therefore, connectivity within Ubuntu natively is lost.
Similarly, am having trouble figuring out how the second VM (also going to be running WinXP) is going to get its connectivity since it doesnt seem to like me setting up 2 bridges to the same physical ethernet interface card.
I need all 3 machines to have static IP addresses and be visible/accessible from the external network for either web/mail/dns/etc servers on the Ubuntu side and for remote PC control functionality on the VM side.
I have tried setting up alias ethernet interfaces (eth0:1, eth0:2, eth0:3) with static addresses which work fine from native Ubuntu in presenting multiple IP addressees, but it seems that Im not permitted to bridge to these alias interfaces.
I've searched on issues of multiple DHCP servers in one LAN. Just about everything is Windows or Novell based stuff. Also, the typically asked scenario is 2 or more DHCP servers for failover purpose (one goes down, the other takes over).
What I want to do with DHCP is different. My purpose would best be described as "administrative separation". Basically, if a given MAC address is configured on a specific DHCP server, that server should be the one to answer and not the other. The problem with that is that we also need a default to handle unknown MACs. So the DHCP server without the MAC configured would be answering, anyway, even if it is the only one configured to do global leasing. Timing would then be the determining factor.
The purpose is to set up a bunch of PXE network booting using program generated DHCP configuration. This server won't always be up, so it can't be used for general purpose. The DHCP server for general purpose is part of a wireless system, and it is configured by GUI and is impractical for the programmed PXE booting.
how to make these work together with everything being on the same LAN segment?
I have a network with multiple subnets from 10.12.056.0 to 10.12.060.0 using net-mask 255.255.248.0 and one gateway 10.12.056.1. I want to setup a dhcp server and wonder how should I config it? All the hosts in the network using the same net-mask and gateway.
In school, use SUSE Server and made it by DHCP but in my hand I changed many rules. All are OK at the start but now they requested that they who are principal, and vice principals are want to use the Internet without filtering.
So I've made new rules by using Webmin software to control the SUSE Server. 1st I've gave static IP from LAN x.x.x.40 to x.x.x.45. 2nd IP is x.x.x.12 to x.x.x.15.
At First, there's nothing happen but now I've got problems because Server gave DHCP so that Server gives IP itself and conflict with static IPs. And also I can't find in Webmin software how to disable the DHCP Assign.
I am trying to configure dhcpd to provide two different pools of IPs- one for dynamically named hosts specific to MAC addresses, and another for everyone else.So, a machine with X MAC address connects, gets an IP from e pool, and the server updates DNS with the address under a specific hostname.For the other pool, it just assigns the IP, no DNS updates.The "class" function doesn't appear to allow anything but pattern matching, and I can't find anything that specifies what "allow" and "deny" options therere for the pool command.Here's my config so far - will this do what I want?
I was just wondering if someone could tell me the best method to connect all my hardwares together to achieve better result.HARDWARES.Cable ModemNETGEAR ROUTERNETGEAR FS728TS Smart switchLINUX SERVER WITH 2NICS.I want my dhcp server to serve 3VLAN networks. I need someone to show me how to do this. What do I need to do. keep in mind, I want eth0 to be used for public address only while eth1 for LAN.

Ubuntu LTS 8.04 + DHCP. Works fine except for fixed addresses. I mean all devices which need to get fixed IP according to their MACs don't get them and keep to receive random IPs from the range (although almost everytime all machines receive the same IP they got from DHCP for the first time).
The following config was created by Webmin interface.
At the one of the ubuntu forums i was advised to carry host description out of the subnet description.
I'm new to Centos 5 (and Linux) and, after installing Centos, I configured Samba, Apche, ... w/o problems (through interactive interface). My problem is tha t I need to use DHCP (all our clients use dynamic IP addresses for the ease) but I don't find dhcpd ... nor the sample config file(s).
Note : the new server I intend to use is actually connected on a LAN with an 'old' DHCP server (still under W2K server), is this the reason why I can't find/activate dhcp on my new machine ???
I'm renting a server which comes with 5 IP addresses, but only one network device. From what I can understand I'm able to create aliases by adding entries to /etc/networks/interfaces, I haven't tried I'm in the planning stages. Hypothetically, 192.168.22.30 is my primary IP and I want to set eth0:1 to have 192.168.22.31, and then after that I want to create a virtual machine (using kvm/qemu) that is able to communicate bidirectionally to the internet over eth0:1, and leave eth0 strictly for administrating (not for VM traffic).
The qemu guides I'm finding seem to assume that I want to use TAP or VDE, what I want to use is a sub-ip/alias. One guide I saw had me eliminate everything from eth0 and put it under br0. That would leave me unable to ssh into my server (and unable to administrate). Is there a way I can do something along the lines of: qemu [options] -net [option] -netdev=eth0:1 ?
I set-up his mail server for him with Postfix but what he wants I have no idea how to do.
Essentially he wants it so that the mail gateway IP corresponds with the dedicated IP of the domain and I have no idea how to accomplish this.
I found some documentation on the web saying that the fix for this was to run multiple instances of Postfix which I tried doing but each time I try to start the second instance I get the error that postfix is already running.
There has to be an elegant way to make this happen, I really hate to tell a client something can't be done even though the concept is a bit pointless, IMHO. I am hoping I can get some feedback here on if this can be done and if it can the easiest way for me to accomplish doing it.
Here is some of the config files (example.com has been put in place of the actual domain names and the ip of 5.5.5.5 is in place of the actual IPs
Our system uses email to send fairly time-sensitive status messages between programs running on various servers on a WAN. Each email message is sent to two addresses (different servers). The problem occurs when one of the destination mail servers is off the network. I think because it's trying to send one email to two addresses, sendmail attempts delivery to the first address, then to the second address (i.e., serially). When this happens, it hangs for two connect timeout (CONNECT_TO) periods trying to connect to the offline destination, then after the timeout, it then delivers to the other destination. I'm trying to figure out how to work around that connection delay so it doesn't delay delivery to the other destination.
I'm working with the network guys to enable the right ICMP messages that signal when a network is unavailable, but I would also like to try having sendmail split the emails into two envelopes, then use parallel, independent connections for delivery.
After days of reading through the docs (O'Rielly Sendmail book + sendmail docs) I think one way to do this is to use multiple mail queues, but I can't decipher exactly how to do that from the docs.
There might be other, more elegant ways to do the same thing, but again, trying to decipher the docs has my head swimming. (This is my first experience with sendmail.)
This is the current setup that we have: We have approx 20 clients who pay us to send out a type of e-mail called an E-Blast to their customers. We currently are using 5 Microsoft Windows Virtual Servers to do this. The problem is that those machines are starting to break down. There are times that it will take Microsoft Windows approx 9-10 hours to complete 1 job. This is way too long. We want to move away from Microsoft Windows for this particular type of job as it seems there are more customers who are wanting to use this type of advertising.
It seems that using a Linux Server "Command Line or Shell" environment would be the best way to go as there is no GUI like Windows. Since there is just text...that is something that would/should process very, very quickly.
I am in the process of setting up a new SMTP outbound mail server. This is the current software & configuration (what is installed on this new machine):
All of the customer data (Names, E-Mail Addresses, etc that these e-mails are going to) are currently loaded in a Microsoft SQL Database.
My machine that I am using is plugged into the DMZ. I have 1 ip address for the 1 network card. I have also added/bound 4 more ip addresses to that network card.
I have configured Postfix for Multiple IP Addresses.
I can, from the command line, send successful test e-mails and receive them in my personal account.
As far as I know everything is setup correctly. I can and will post requested information so that it can be verified that everything is setup correctly.
Here are a couple of my questions:
Ensure that I have my Network / Interfaces file and my Postfix's Master.cf/Main.cf files setup correctly?
How can I setup this server to be an Outbound SMTP server and get it to use all 5 of the IP Addresses to send these e-mails quickly?
What can I use to check and ensure that this server is in fact sending out emails on all 5 IP
Addresses (I heard that there is a program named "Postal" that may help in determing this).
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.
