Hi Mike,
As far as to why the DHCP server leases out IPs from the end of the block
rather than from the beginning, I'm not sure myself. I just signed up for the
ISC DHCP server mailing lists at
http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/dhcp/dhcp-lists.php and plan to ask the people
on there this question as well.
If you added a second dhcp pool for eth2, but it did not appear in
'/opt/vyatta/config/dhcpd.conf', and you stil have the config and the
'dhcpd.conf' after that commit, then please include these files with your
message.
Thanks,
Marat

Why cannot I take addresses out of the beginning of the block like I'd rather
it do? How can I (without rewriting/modifying source code)? That would really
stink to have to statically assign everything to make it the way (that it makes
sense). It's great and all that it actually does assign an address and ' works
', but why not start at the beginning?
From what Marat wrote, I understand that you've seen that behavior before -
confirmed. Now, can it be changed?
I won't try to start any wars here, but that would unfortunately be one
reason I would not want to use Vyatta. Well that and the WAN dhclient that's
in progress.
I could have sworn (oh and I did commit it) that I added a config for a
second dhcp pool (separate) for eth2, but voila it's gone when I check
dhcpd.conf...
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
As far as I know, it is normal for the ISC DHCP server that the Vyatta
router is using to lease out addresses starting from the last address of the
DHCP lease block, I've seen this before. Not quite sure myself why ISC does it
this way, maybe there is an assumption that the IPs at the end of the block are
less likely to be already taken...
When you write "I have discovered that various parts have been separated
from the main config", what do you mean?
The DHCP server configuration file is '/opt/vyatta/etc/dhcpd.conf', not
'/opt/vyatta/etc/dhcp.conf'. The configuration for eth2 should not show up
there if you did not configure any DHCP leases for any of the subnets to which
your the interface is connected.
If you have additional questions, please send us snippets of your router
configuration under hierarchies 'interfaces ethernet' and 'service
dhcp-server'. Please also send the contents of '/opt/vyatta/etc/dhcpd.conf'.
Thanks,
Marat

I've set up a complete vyatta system a few times, even with two
versions (2.2 and 3.0).
I'm currently working with 3.0 and I'm getting the same behavior as the
last time.
I setup a DHCP server on eth1, but when it hands out addresses, it
always gives out the last address in the block (in this case 192.168.0.60
consistently).
When finding the configuration, I have discovered that various parts
have been separated from the main config - I don't know if it was that way in
previous versions, but thought I'd mention it.
Also, my DHCP server for eth2 does not show up in
/opt/vyatta/etc/dhcp.conf ;; that's another issue that I'll have to solve after
this one.
My config for the DHCP server:
shared-network Subnet1 {
subnet 192.168.0.32 netmask 255.255.255.224 {
not authoritative;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
range 192.168.0.34 192.168.0.60;
}
Thanks,
Mike
