What's wong with this dhcpd configuration?

[dE_logics]

Code: Select all

option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
max-lease-time 86400;min-lease-time 86400;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
ddns-update-style none;
deny booting;
deny duplicates;
deny Declines;
allow Leasequery;
local-address 192.168.1.2;
log-facility syslog;
one-lease-per-client false;
ping-check false;
host up {
        hardware ethernet 00:1c:23:a1:9d:09;
        fixed-address 192.168.1.3;
}
host down {
        hardware ethernet 00:1c:23:a1:9d:09;
        fixed-address 192.168.1.4;
}
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.254;
       }

Every time I install and attempt to configure this package, it spits out all kinds of errors which I didn't encounter last time. I hope this wont be the case with BIND.

Code: Select all

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf line 6: semicolon expected.

Hi there,

concerning the subnet...the subnet decleration should be rather

Code: Select all

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.254;
       }

than

Code: Select all

subnet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
                range 192.168.1.5 192.168.1.254;
       }

You should check the option "deny booting;" and if it's described in the man page of dhcpd.conf...maybe it has changed over some versions, got kicked out has more options to set...?

Oh, sorry about the bad subnet, I'd already fixed that.

Even if I hash out 'deny booting', it complains about some other option (in a similar way)... and I keep hashing out till everything is hashed out.

Ok, got it, there was a duplicate invalid entry "ddns-update-style".
