I don't get it.  I have a subnet that uses DHCP, why does that not make sense.  Why else would the firewall have DHCPD if not to provide internal dhcp service?  Why would you have an external dhcp?  Perhaps we are talking about two different things:  I don't want want the firewall interface to be dhcp, it is static, I need to provide dhcp to the subnet.  Maybe it would be easier to do that with another server on that network.

Thanks

Yes, it has dhcpd set as the client.  There doesn't seem to be a way to
not have a client selected.  It should be a static interface and is set up
that way and works,

Thanks

Hi,

Is the interface associated to this dhcp section already setup with a dhcp
client ?

It does write to the file but this is what it puts in dhcpd.conf

ddns-update-style none;
subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.224.0^M {
       # default gateway
       option routers 172.16.64.1^M;
       option subnet-mask 255.255.224.0^M;
       option broadcast-address 255.255.255.255;

       #domains
       option domain-name "rwu.edu";
       option domain-name-servers 66.181.224.13;

       #dynamic range
       range 0.0.0.200 0.0.0.225;
       default-lease-time 21600;
       max-lease-time 43200;

when I entered 172.16.64.0/19 as the network, eth2 as the interface
(associated with 64 subnet) and 200-225 as the range of addresses.  If the
0's are wildcards I suppose it is correct, but it doesn't issue any
addresses on that network.  Is it possible the DHCP server listens on some
other port (than 67)?

I am trying to set up DHCP with MNF on two of the interfaces eth2 and
eth3.  When I look at the dhcpd.conf file, it seems really odd and dhcp
doesn't work.  I presume it runs on udp port 67 but how do you put in the
ips you want to use and specify the subnets.  They always seem to be
0.0.0.0/0 in the file after it is setup.  I want to set it up on two
networks 172.16.64.0/19 and 172.16.96.0/19 on the two interfaces for ips
172.16.64.200-225 and 172.16.96.226-249 respectively.  Any advice is
appreciated.


            
in the dhcp section you can choose the network interface: for example
eth3.  Then, you choose the dynamic IP range: for example 200-225. This
will read the eth3 IP address/network: for example 172.16.64.0/19 and
create the dhcpd.conf entries for that: the whole subnet section
corresponding to that network (interface).

please let me know if this does not work for you ...

good luck,
