I want to post this in hopes of helping another Mandriva user struggling
to get dhcp working on their backend. I use Mandriva 2008.1 on a 64 bit
box. Originally when I set things up, I couldn't get it to work and was
fortunate that my DLink router would handle the dhcp for me and the
backend did the tftp for the dongle. With this new router that I
installed for parental control called the iBoss, I was out of luck. I
fought with things for a few hours today and got it. Here it is and I
hope someone else can benefit. Note that this is set up for two mvpmc's,
but you can easily delete one from the file.
my dhcpd.conf file:
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
allow bootp;
allow booting;
#option ip-forwarding false; # No IP forwarding
#option mask-supplier false; # Don't respond to ICMP Mask req
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.250;
}
group {
next-server 192.168.0.50; # IP address of your TFTP server
host mvpdn {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:0c:88:6e;
fixed-address 192.168.0.57;
filename "dongle.bin";
}
host mvpup {
hardware ethernet 00:0d:fe:0c:41:80;
fixed-address 192.168.0.58;
filename "dongle.bin";
}
}
