Good evening. I am trying to replace the Verizon FIOS Actiontec router with a OpenBSD 5.2 box, and move from COAX to Cat5e at the same time. I've read the documentation for configuring dhcp/dhclient. I've set the external interface to "dhcp". I have a solid green link light on the interface (re0).
When I attempted to cutover (Verizon reset the ONT, and I rebooted the box). I received the following feedback: DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 3 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 7 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 9 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21 DHCPDISCOVER on re0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 12 No DHCPOFFERS received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping. I assumed the RJ-45 port was hot when it cutover. I now find that the COAX port is still hot (as the Actiontec router is still online) and therefore assume the cutover to RJ-45 was not done properly on their end. But I also wanted to know if a stock 5.2 distro work with FIOS and Cat5e or do I need to use ISC-dhcp somewhere in the process? Thanks in advance, Jay
