I'm just set up isc dhcpd 2.0b1pl27 on Solaris 2.6 x86, and encounter the following
trouble:
server compiled with DLPI interface (the default) does not (properly) send packets to
clients.
Symptoms is that no client recieved dhcp packets at all (DHCPOFFER, for example).
I used snoop program to trace network packets, and it shows client's DHCPREQUEST,
than ICMP echo request (from dhcpd as I guess), and after that - packet of type
IEEE 802.3 (LLC/802.3) of size 22 bytes. When I use Solaris's dhcpd, snoop shows
DHCPOFFER packed after client's DHCPREQUEST. Isc's dhcpd works ok if uses SOCKETS
instead of DLPI (but only for one network interface), so I think that this is a trouble
with DLPI interface usage in dhcpd. As I see in docs for dhcpd, DLPI works ok (but
with some troubles with dhcpclient) on sparc solaris, but x86 version differs from
sparc
mostly in host byte ordering (LITTLE/BIG endian), other differences are hidden by
OS implementation. I know little about dlpi (and other low-level network interfaces :(
),
so I can't guess what's wrong.
But I can do (some) maintenance of dhcpd on Solaris (x86, I don't have access to sparc
variant),
at least testing and packaging for it...
Sorry if this question was already discussed in this list...
