Hey Denis, just wanted to let you know that all is well with that new dhcp server now. Running 4.3.3-p1
I increased the lease_hash number and added the debug stuff.. Also i increased some system defaults to the below..
net.core.rmem_max=33554432
net.core.wmem_max=33554432
net.core.rmem_default=33554432
net.core.wmem_default=33554432
net.ipv4.udp_rmem_min=16384
net.ipv4.udp_wmem_min=16384
net.core.netdev_max_backlog=2000
Memory use increased a bit , but still have 2.5 gigs left, and its not swapping
Throw in the ramdisk, and hopefully i will be good for a while...
Once i get up the new secondary server we will go back to the normal failover config.
Thanks again for all your help!

Thanks for the quick reply Denis..
So i found a number which seems to be ok, I have 8 gigs of ram on that dhcp server... at its current full tilt it uses 4

What do you think?

Hi Rob,
I don't remember having any problem with someone not getting a lease. If that was the case, the stock apt-get version would have done the same thing with the default value anyway.
I think you should have a number under 100% so yeah I would up that number (find a prime number above 1664250). A value that high will probably impact the memory used by the daemon.

Would a too low lease_hash prevent users from getting a lease or IP at a certain point? I had this issue last night where i was running on stock apt-get install and after we moved one more controller to that server , people started not being able to get leases....
With the increase of lease_has after a restart i get this
Feb 4 13:41:49 localhost dhcpd: Lease IP hash: Contents/Size (%): 1664250/400009 (416%). Min/max: 3/5
Feb 4 13:41:49 localhost dhcpd: Lease UID hash: Contents/Size (%): 0/400009 (0%). Min/max: 0/0
Feb 4 13:41:49 localhost dhcpd: Lease HW hash: Contents/Size (%): 0/400009 (0%). Min/max: 0/0
Feb 4 13:41:49 localhost dhcpd: Server starting service.
So i should up it until i have space??

Hi Rob,
I can't help for issue on your interface problem but I think I can help with the performance.
I used to have performance problem with my failover setup and someone at ISC told me to change some value in the code to get debug information about memory usage.
Add this to the file "includes/dhcpd.h"
#if !defined (REPORT_HASH_PERFORMANCE)
# define REPORT_HASH_PERFORMANCE 1
#endif
Compile and start the daemon and you should get something like this on screen and in the log:

"Lease IP hash" is where you should look.
By default the server use a lease hash size value of 100003. I had over 350000 leases so I was exceeding that value and the server was very slow to start.
To change the size you must edit the file "includes/dhcpd.h" and find LEASE_HASH_SIZE and replace the value. This value must be a prime number (I used 400009).
-# define LEASE_HASH_SIZE 100003
+# define LEASE_HASH_SIZE 400009
Compile and start again. That was the answer for me.
One other thing with the failover setup, the peer will always be in recover state when starting for the duration of the "MCLT" (time in second) in your failover definition (1800 in your case), so it will be in recover start for 30 minutes. I use 300 (5 minutes).
Le texte aurait été plus facile à écrire en français mais comme la liste est en anglais et que ça peut aider d'autres personnes alors je me suis forcé. En espérant que ce soit clair pour toi !

Objet : ISC-dhcp subnet limit?
Hello all, my first post here, so please be gentle :)
I have inherited 2 dhcp servers, one primary(dhcp-1) & one secondary(dhcp-2) running isc-dhcpd-4.2.4 on Ubuntu 14.0(Trusty)
We are having a few issues, and I cannot seem to figure out whats going on. I have a few questions, maybe someone can help me with.
Is there a max limit to how many subnets can be used in the pools? As currently we are using just over 6000 subnets
Currently our secondary dhcp-server is always in recovery mode, not sure why?
Does it matter if a DISCOVER comes in on eth1 but OFFER goes out on eth0?
My primary server /etc/dhcpd.conf file
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
option domain-name "dyn";
option domain-name-servers 172.30.64.210, 172.30.64.220;
default-lease-time 1200;
max-lease-time 3600; # 1h
include "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd_pools.conf";
# Include the primary configuration
include "/etc/dhcp/dhcpd_primary.conf";
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd_primary has the following
## PRIMARY
failover peer "tdl-dhcp-failover" {
primary; # declare this to be the primary server
address 172.30.128.9;
port 647;
peer address 172.30.128.10;
peer port 647;
max-response-delay 30;
max-unacked-updates 10;
load balance max seconds 3;
mclt 1800;
split 128;
}
Exert from dhcpd_pools file, starts like this....
subnet 10.32.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.32.0.1;
pool {
failover peer "dhcp-failover";
range 10.32.0.5 10.32.0.254;
}
}
And finishes like this, with all the subnets in between...
subnet 10.57.255.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.57.255.1;
pool {
failover peer "dhcp-failover";
range 10.57.255.5 10.57.255.254;
}
}
Example Exert from logs on both serves of a client that could not get an IP
from dhcp-1
Jan 27 18:30:31 dhcp-1 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from fc:e9:98:bc:a8:7b (iPhone) via 10.50.170.1
Jan 27 18:30:31 dhcp-1 dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.50.170.93 to fc:e9:98:bc:a8:7b (iPhone) via 10.50.170.1
from dhcp-2
Jan 27 18:53:55 dhcp-2 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from fc:e9:98:bc:a8:7b via 10.50.170.1: peer holds all free leases
Jan 27 18:54:04 dhcp-2 dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from fc:e9:98:bc:a8:7b via 10.50.170.1: peer holds all free leases
Never see the ACK.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.. :
Thanks...
