Hello,
I use:
$ uname -mrsv
OpenBSD 3.9 GENERIC#617 i386
I would like to set an alias on my external interface which has a DHCP
provided address.
As written in dhclient.conf(5), I set up an alias for my xl0 interface:
$ cat /etc/dhclient.conf
alias {
interface "xl0";
fixed-address 192.5.5.213;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.255;
}
Then, when I start dhclient, it exits after having acquired a lease.
$ sudo tail -n 3 /var/log/daemon
May 30 18:42:02 riri dhclient[32081]: bound to 10.10.10.244 -- renewal
in 300 seconds.
May 30 18:42:02 riri dhclient[13379]: buf_read (connection closed)
May 30 18:42:02 riri dhclient[13379]: exiting.
I have seen similar problems with previous versions of dhclient in 3.6, 3.7
For example, in the thread "dhclient woes" started on Mon, Oct 31 2005
4:02 am
Also, if I remove the alias line from /etc/dhclient.conf, then dhclient
starts and doesn't exit.
However, when I add the alias by hand, it exits as well:
$ pgrep dhclient
10400
26486
$ sudo ifconfig xl0 inet alias 192.5.5.213 netmask 255.255.255.255
$ pgrep dhclient
$ sudo tail -n 2 /var/log/daemon
May 30 19:01:31 riri dhclient[26486]: buf_read (connection closed)
May 30 19:01:31 riri dhclient[26486]: exiting.
Thanks in advance.
