Hey, I am setting up dhcpd to hand out addresses on one interface eth1 that I would like to have multiple subnets. For each subnet I have created virtual device for each subnet's gateway ie: eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:64:D4:09 inet addr:192.168.4.1 Bcast:192.168.4.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1564 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:177 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xa400 eth1:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:64:D4:09 inet addr:192.168.5.1 Bcast:192.168.5.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xa400 eth1:2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:64:D4:09 inet addr:192.168.6.1 Bcast:192.168.6.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:5 Base address:0xa400 #/etc/dhcpd.conf to support multiple subnets on one device default-lease-time 600; max-lease-time 7200; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.100; option domain-name "test.lan"; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; subnet 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.4.10; range 192.168.4.111; option broadcast-address 192.168.4.255; option routers 192.168.4.1 ; } subnet 192.168.5.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{ range 192.168.5.10 192.168.5.100; range 192.168.5.150 192.168.5.200; option broadcast-address 192.168.5.255; option routers 192.168.5.1 ; } subnet 192.168.6.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{ range 192.168.6.10 192.168.6.100; range 192.168.6.150 192.168.6.200; option broadcast-address 192.168.6.255; option routers 192.168.6.1 ; } #/etc/dhcpd.conf when I start dhcpd I get the error: [root@allan 13:47:35 /etc]# /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth1 eth1:1 eth1:2 No subnet declaration for eth1:1 (0.0.0.0). Please write a subnet declaration for the network segment to which interface eth1:1 is attached. exiting. If I start dhcpd with just eth1 as a parameter it will only use the first subnet entry in dhcpd.conf which happens to be the 192.168.4.0. any suggestions would be great.
