Dear list readers,
I have a question about configuring DHCPD to answer requests according
the value of the "DHCP relay" option. I have tried to find the
information on the internet as well in the manpage, but could not find
what I was looking for.
I have to set up a quite complex environment (at least for me). I have
already compiled the latest version of DHCPD on a debian machine and
configured it so that I have three address pools.
Now what I need is the following:
- DHCPD gets a request from a client.
- DHCPD looks at the relay agent option.
- If the relay agent IP is 10.0.0.1, give out an IP address from
10.1.0.0/16 or 10.2.0.0/16, but not from any other address pool.
- If the relay agent IP is 192.168.0.1, give out an IP address from
192.168.0.0/24.
I hope my explanation is easy to understand... I already configured a
shared-network for the 10.x.0.0/16 networks, but I am not sure if this
is the right way.
Here is my configuration so far (relevant parts):
server-identifier 192.168.0.2;
authorative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range 192.168.0.3 192.168.0.254;
default-lease-time 36000;
max-lease-time 36000;
}
shared-network RELAY1
{
subnet 10.1.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
{
range 10.1.0.2 10.1.254.254;
...
}
subnet 10.2.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0
{
range 10.2.0.2 10.2.254.254;
...
}
}
I'd highly appreciate any help!
Thanks
Jessica
