Can't get DHCPd to assign IPs to unknown clients
- by Jakobud
I'm using Webmin to admin our DHCPd server. But I'm having a hard time getting it to assign IP addresses to unknown clients. The only way I can get it to assign an IP is to make sure a host is added to DHCPd as a host so that it gets a static-lease IP assigned to it.
I thought "Allow Unknown Clients" was the key, but it still isn't assigning IPs to unknown clients. I have a pool setup so that the unknown clients should get an IP between 10.20.0.200 - 10.20.0.249.
Here is the config file. What am I missing here?
allow unknown-clients;
# Primary DHCP server config
authoritative;
ddns-update-style none;
failover peer "dhcp-failover" {
primary;
address 10.20.0.30;
port 647;
peer address 10.20.0.25;
peer port 647;
max-response-delay 60;
max-unacked-updates 10;
load balance max seconds 3;
mclt 3600;
split 128;
}
subnet 10.20.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
allow unknown-clients;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 10.20.0.255;
option routers 10.20.0.100;
option domain-name "ourdomain.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.20;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option ntp-servers 192.168.10.20;
option time-offset -25200;
pool {
allow unknown-clients;
failover peer "dhcp-failover";
max-lease-time 86400;
range 10.20.0.200 10.20.0.249;
deny dynamic bootp clients;
}
host Server-myserver {
option host-name "whatever.ourdomain.com";
hardware ethernet 00:89:D4:35:4F:13;
fixed-address 10.20.0.23;
}
}
