Hi,
I just discovered that I got wrong what "dhcp-ignore" does... I'll try
to explain what I want and what I did and see if someone can explain me
what I got wrong or, better yet, a way to do what I want :-)
I'm using 2.45 (but can upgrade to 2.46 if needed).
I'm using dnsmasq in a firewall with three "internal" legs (2 different
wifi networks and a local wired net).
In the local wired net I'm using one class "C" network, but I have 2
different ranges (with different treatment in my firewall). I want to
give IP addresses in one range only to MACs I know, and in the other
range to others, so I wrote part of my configuration as in the file
attached... in particular:
dhcp-range=tagIKnowYou,192.168.1.101,192.168.1.120,4h
dhcp-ignore=tagIKnowYou,#known
dhcp-range=tagAllTheRest,192.168.1.161,192.168.1.174,4h
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:66,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-01
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:02,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-02
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:03,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-03
At first everything went the way I wanted... my three known PCs got
their addresses from the first range (192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.102 and
192.168.1.103) and all the rest got address from the second range...
But when we hook up a new computer and I didn't notice that my second
range was too little, instead of rejecting the DHCPREQUEST for not
having enough IPs, it gave it an IP from the first range (192.168.1.104).
I thought that the line:
dhcp-ignore=tagIKnowYou,#known
would prevent this, but clearly I'm understanding it wrong... or I hit a
bug?
How should I configure my dnsmasq to prevent unknown MACs from getting
an IP in the "tagIKnowYou" range?
TIA.
