Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.3.5-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
dpkg-reconfigure can bring up a dialog that asks which says:
"The interfaces will be automatically detected if this field is left blank."
This is no longer true.
One must find the name in /sys/class/net and enter it in
/etc/defaults/isc-dhcp-server or via reconfigure.
>From my current /etc/defaults/isc-dhcp-server config:
# On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests?
# Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1".
INTERFACESv4="enp0s31f6"
#INTERFACESv6="enp0s31f6"
( The stock comments here are now obsolete as well )
You can also see that I commented out the IPV6 line which got things working.
The documentation on https://wiki.debian.org/DHCP_Server
needs to be updated as well once this gets resolved.
Might want to put a migration note in /usr/share/doc/isc-dhcp-server re IPv6
and device names while into this.
