Only tested with a changing subnet mask but suspect other fields behave similarly.
A pfSense DHCP server serving multiple clients exhibited this behavior when the IP address of the pfSense LAN (and thus the DHCP pool) was changed from 192.168.28.1/22 to 192.168.28.1/20. The new netmask (0xfffff000 / 255.255.240.0) is present in the client lease file, but ifconfig shows the old netmask (0xfffffc00 / 255.255.252.0) is still configured on the interface. >How-To-Repeat: 1. Create a subnet with dhcp, e.g. 10.0.0.0/24 with 10.0.0.(200-250) as the dhcp pool. 2. Acquire a lease from this pool on a FreeBSD DHCP client. 3. Change the netmask of the DHCP server and pool to something wider, e.g. 10.0.0.0/22. 4. Await DHCP renewal on client. The lease file will reflect the new subnet mask, but the new mask is not applied to the interface. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
