Dhcpd On Opensuse 12.1 Does Not Hand Out Addresses

Hi all

I am trying out this dhcp server setup on opensuse 12.1 but it does not seem to be working.

I have eth0 configured to be 192.168.10.1 in a /24 network.

I want to hand out the rest of the address in the same subnet as dhcp addresses. (So everything from 10.2 to 10.255). The default gw is defined as 192.168.10.1, and routing table looks correct. and I only have eth0.

When I start the dhcp, and connect it to the client machine, I see nothing on the wireshark trace. no DHCP discovery or ack messages. And the client machine just keeps trying boot from the network via the network interface. I know I got the right interface (there were blinky options in the bios that lets you identify the correct interface) and the cable is not a problem. (If the cable were a problem the client boot message would say "media fault ... please check media...") instead.

Here is my dhcpd.conf file. I went through man dhcpd already, and cleaned out everything that I apparently don't need. (The original file was copied from a more complicated setup that had multiple subnets and dhcp relays.)

Code:

###################simplfied 
linux-kzy1:/var/lib/dhcp/db # cat /etc/dhcpd.conf

this is what /var/log/message and /var/log/rc.dhcpd.log says:

linux-kzy1:/home/test/Documents #

Which ties into my first question: dhcp no free lease: I googled a bit, I found a post from a guy on ubuntu who has the same error message and the suggested course of action is to change ownership of the lease file to dhcpd and give it 777 for permission. Which I thought is weird, because the lease file is automatically created by the dhcpd itself, so it really shouldn't be a permission issue shouldn't it? (Anyway, tried that didn't do a thing.) right now it is owned by root/root and has this permission: -rw-r--r--.

2nd question: once the client gets a reply from my dhcp server saying no free lease, does it remember this dhcp server as no free lease and does it persist throughout reboots? Because I tried rebooting the client a number of times and I don't see anything on the wireshark at all. You will notice the time stamp on the last "no free lease" message is not as late as the other messages from the var/log/messages or rc.dhcpd.log and I rebooted the client and the dhcp plenty of times since 17:01:38.

Thanks for all your help in advance everyone.

Bad Subnet/netmask , DHCP Installation

Hi,

I'm on WMware workstation with debian Wheezy.
I have a problem when a restart the Dchp.
It said Bad subnet number/mask combination.

This is logs:

root@debian-main:/# /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart

The error was:

And this my file dhcpd.conf:

}

For me it's the good subnet number/mask combination.

Can you help me please?

Thanks you,

Failed To Bring Up Eth1 - Debian Wheezy

Hi,

I tried to configure my ethernet interface on a Debian Wheezy VM, but I've a problem. When I try to restart /etc/init.d/networking, I've no error message.
But my eth1 interface isn't up and when I try to up it with : ifup eth1, it return me :

Code:

root@debian-main:/# ifup eth1
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Failed to bring up eth1

My /etc/network/interface file is :

Code:

auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp


iface eth1 inet static
        address 192.168.10.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 192.168.10.254

Eth0 is my internet interface and eth1 is a local interface. I want to install a DNS and a DHCP server on eth1 to be able to connect client with this VM and give them an ip adress.

Thanks guys

Regular Expression In Expect Script To Prevent Printing To Screen

Hello, I have an expect script where I ssh to a remote host to determine the network configuration and get from the user the network interface card that should be used. From their response, I determine the subnet mask and save the information to a text file that is later transmitted back to my local host. This is all so that I can set up virtual IP aliasing and verify that the physical IP address of the local and remote host are on the same subnet prior to continuing with the setup. I am running the script on Linux, with expect version 5.45.

The code itelf works just fine, but I'm having some issues with how it displays on the screen. As you'll see below in the example, the default system prompt displays, as does the user input command that I'm sending to the shell from the expect script.

Is there a regular expression or something that I can write to prevent the prompt and command that I'm sending from printing to the screen? I know that it should be suppressed if I have an expect command following the Code:

send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r

command, but everything I have tried for strings and regular expressions to expect causes the netstat -rn output to not show up all of a sudden. I'm new to expect, so I'm not really sure why this is happening.

I would really appreciate any help/suggestions. Thanks for your time!

Part of the Script Code:
Code:

expect {
   -re $prompt {   ;# Send individual commands and get user input
        set timeout -1
        
        # Get partner hostname and put in vipsetup.txt file
        send -s "hostname > vipsetup.txt\r"  
        expect -re $prompt
        
        # Display the network routing info for the user and prompt for 
        # network interface card number
        send -s "print \"The network routing table for the $ptner server is displayed below:\n\" ; netstat -rn \r"
        
        expect -re "\r(.*):\r"
        send -s "\nread n_card?'Enter the network interface card number for this server (i.e. eth0):   '\r"
        interact "\r" return    ;# Wait for user input from read command
        send -- "\r"
        send -s "echo \$n_card >> vipsetup.txt\r"  
        
        # Obtain subnet mask information for partner based on network 
        # interface card number being used
        send -s "msk=\$(cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-\$n_card | grep NETMASK)\r"
        send -s "msk=\$(echo \${msk#NETMASK=})\r"
        send -s "echo \$msk >> vipsetup.txt\r"
    }
    timeout {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip timed out."
        exit 6 
    }
    eof {
        send_user "Connection to host $hostip failed."
        exit
    }
}

Trying To Change The IP Address And The Hostname

I have two servers, �ServerA� and �ServerB�. Using SLES SP3.

ServerA is the main server with LTSP running

I have used DD to image the drives from ServerA to ServerB. ServerB now boots and is identical to ServerA,and all is well. I want to use ServerB as a backup server, so if ServerA goes down I can bring server online. Obviously in order to put them both on the same network (to keep the user files updated on a daily basis) I need to change the IP address and the host name of serverB (currently is the same as ServerA).

I have done the following (copied from my notes):
Code:

  The following file, binds the ethernet MAC address to ETH0 or ETH1 etc..  We need to delete this file so that a new one is automatically created during reboot with the correct MAC address bound to ETH0
  Delete this file:
      /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

  make sure to change the static IP address in the following files
    /etc/dhcp.d
    /etc/hosts
    /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
    /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/ltsp.conf

  give the system a different host name in:
    /etc/HOSTNAME

Reboot the system

When I change the HOSTNAME, the server will boot, bring me to a log in screen and then after I log in it will just sit there with the green background and a cursor. What files am I forgetting to change..

Linux Not Accepting Udp And Tcp Ethernet Packets

I am trying to build a socket to retrieve the ethernet packets from ecu. When i run my code on windows there is no problem and the code runs correctly. But when i run my code on Linux it gets stuck at s.recv(65565). I have already set static ip in /etc/network/interfaces as follows: iface eth0 inet static address 160.48.199.91 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 160.48.199.254

I tried a simple code of socket on raspberry pi. but it still gets stuck at s.recv(65565). I also tried to implement the program using multicast. but the problem is that when i create a socket for icmp protocols then I could see the data from the ECU after using command "ping -I echo 239.192.255.251" in another terminal. (where 239.192.255.251 is the multicast address) But when I change the socket protocol type to udp, tcp or raw then it again gets stuck at s.recv().

Imp: When i run the "netstat -s" command in terminal then i could see that there are 0 messages received for udp and tcp. But in Wireshark i could see the udp messages from ECU. Is linux killing all the udp and tcp packets ? How should i solve this ?
(complete setup is connected as: ECU ---> Media converter ---> Raspberry Pi. There is no LAN, no firewall, no internet)

Could anyone please help me with this problem ?

Access A Host From A Different Subnet In Linux

Hi all,

I have a host#1 with ip=192.168.3.100 and a host#2 with ip=192.168.2.100. Both hosts are connected to some linux device with 2 interfaces : eth0 with ip=192.168.2.1 and eth1 with ip=192.168.3.1.

So host#1 is connected to eth1 and host#2 to eth0. I would like to ping host#2 from host#1 and vice versa. How can I do that ?

I tried :
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

but it didn't work

PS
This is my first post here, so please don't be very strict to me
Looking forward to hearing from anybody as I'm out of ideas...

BR,
Dmitry
