DHCP OFFER issues (to relay client)

[Tim Preston]

LOL - thought you would ask that... it's a proprietary router/radio I'm doing integration testing and research for; Waverider CCU3100. As mentioned, the relay works fine with other makes of DHCP server software.

Tim,

What device is relaying the DHCP requests?

Hi there - I'm new to the list so I hope I'm using it right ; ) - sorry for
the length!

I'm trying to get DHCPd version 3.0 hand out IPs to hosts through a relay
client. Other DHCP servers (Windows, Cisco, HaneWin) have no problem doing
this with the exact same network config, so I figure I must be doing
something wrong with ISC DHCPd.

My config is simple:

------------192.168.1.x/24------------
        |                                  |
    DHCPd                 DHCP relay agent
(192.168.1.205)        (192.168.1.100 eth0)
                               ( 3.11.1.254 eth1)
                                           |
                      -------------3.11.1.x/24---------------
                                           |
                                   DHCP client

Everything can ping everything else with the DHCP client configured staticly
with a 3.11.1.x/24 address.

dhcpd.conf is even simpler:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}

subnet 3.11.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
   option routers 3.11.1.254;
   option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
   range 3.11.1.1 3.11.1.9;
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------

At the Linux box, the DHCP DISCOVER is being received:
Jun 25 10:42:34 dualboot dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:90:c8:61:1c:1e
(eum61-1c-1e) via 3.11.1.254

...and subsequently answered with a DHCP OFFER (so it says):
Jun 25 10:42:34 dualboot dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 3.11.1.9 to 00:90:c8:61:1c:1e
(eum61-1c-1e) via 3.11.1.254

However, a packet capture on the Linux switch port shows no sign of the
offers DHCPd says it's sending out; only 'discovers':



No.     Time        Source                Destination           Protocol

      2 4.823431    3.11.1.254            192.168.1.205         DHCP

Has anyone run across this before??



Thanks,
