Hello, I'm using Solaris 11 Express as a development workstation OS here. The machine does have 3 NICs so I'm also using it as a router, where router functionality is provided by `router' zone where 2 NICs are used and the 3dt NIC is used in the global zone where I usually work. Anyway, the problem is that my ISP insist on using DHCP as a way how to provide me with IP address on the router's outside interface. So I configured it as I used to in older open solaris releases:
# ls -la /etc/dhcp.yukonx1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 26 21:07 /etc/dhcp.yukonx1 # and adding manually /etc/defaultrouter and also manually configure bge0 which is the inside interface on the router zone. The problem is and which I had not with the previous opensolaris releases I ran (2009.06 + b134) is that dhcpagent cannot sent REQUEST to the network. The issue shows as following messages on the console: Jan 4 09:53:52 router /sbin/dhcpagent[1587]: send_pkt_internal: cannot send REQUEST packet to server (will retry in 599 seconds): Network is unreachable this basically starts a little bit later after router zone boot and never ends. After some time also yukonx1 NIC loses its IP address. As a temporal workaround I developed little script which test for IP on yukonx1 NIC and if it's not there it restarts whole networking however, this is really just temporal workaround which I'd like to solve in a proper way. Do you have any idea how to fix this? Has anything changed in a way DHCP client works between OS 2009.06 and SE 2010.11?
