8680.0. "dhcp loop" by BACHUS::ROETS (Chris Roets) Mon Feb 03 1997 04:00

    Hello Guys,
    
    I have set up a DHCP server on Digital Unix.
    from the moment is setup up the /etc/join/nets file,
    like 
    
    16.201.0.0      16.201.0.139           16.201.0.50-16.201.0.60
    
    I have the joind that goes into a loop just after
    Received Host structure:
    ht=1:ha=00.80.c7.64.c2.91:ci=0.0.0.0:gi=0.0.0.0:sa=0.0.0.0:yi=0.0.0.0:flags=12,5
    0,53,61,515,523:vm=rfc1048:ho=BRO-WS-1534:ip=16.183.4.202:ck=010080c764c291:mt=1
     (DHCPDISCOVER):
    
    DHCPdiscover
    
    and just before
    seeking client 
    
    I never get the above message and the joind loops..
    
    anyone any idea ?
    
    # cat /etc/bootptab
    ofscrt:\
            :ha=00-80-c7-0d-34-7f:\
            :ht=ethernet:\
            :ba=255.255.255.0:\
            :ha=0080c70d347f:\
            :sm=255.255.255.0:\
            :dn=bro.dec.com:\
            :ds=16.183.0.2:
    # cat /etc/join/netmasks
    # Network       netmask
    16.201.0        255.255.255.0
    16.201          255.255.0.0
    16              255.0.0.0
    # cat /etc/join/namepool
    bro.dec.com     16.201.0.139    bht409
            pc0     pc1     pc2     pc3
            pc4     pc5     pc6     pc7

	You say your nets file has this in it: 16.201.0.0 16.201.0.139 16.201.0.50-16.201.0.60 So that looks like you want to serve addresses for the 16.201 subnet. You will hand out addresses in the range of 0.50 through 0.60. But then the debug output from joind shows a client doing a DISCOVER with this IP address: ip=16.183.4.202. This isn't in the network that you're serving. You also have a broken bootptab file. Remove one of the two "ha" tags. The broadcast address is wrong (does the client need to be told anyway?) Lastly the netmasks file doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. The first two lines conflict. I'm suspicious that you may have two subnets on one segment. joind doesn't currently support this, but it will hopefully in the not-too-distant future. -- Farrell [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]
