Our test lab has 4 class C address blocks assigned to it that are all on
the same wire (segment?) and we are finally getting around to installing
a dhcp server. We have a Debian-woody (testing) server up, but when I
start it, it says:
Address range <subnet2>.201 to <subnet2>.254 not on net
<subnet2>.0/255.255.252.0
and then the server exits. Here is my dhcpd.conf (specific addresses
ommitted for security reasons):
shared-network TestLab {
option routers <subnet4>.254;
option ntp-servers <subnet4>.252 , <subnet4>.253;
option domain-name-servers <subnet4>.252 , <subnet4>.253;
option domain-name "<mydomain>";
subnet <subnet1>.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
range <subnet1>.201 <subnet1>.254;
}
subnet <subnet2>.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
range <subnet2>.201 <subnet2>.254;
}
subnet <subnet3>.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
range <subnet3>.201 <subnet3>.254;
}
}
We statically allocate addresses 1-200 for <subnet1>, <subnet2>,
<subnet3> and all addresses in <subnet4>. We now want to put the upper
54 addresses of the first three subnets (e.g., 201-254) in the dhcp
pool. What am I doing wrong? I can't find (or didn't understand) the
correct use of the shared-network block.
I also assume the netmask part of each subnet statement is the same
netmask we set on each statically allocated machine.
Thanks for any help.
