First make sure that the dhcp service is running. Then, before changing anything, make sure the VLAN is trunked properly.
Do not try to guess, or rely on the configuration. Be skeptical and run tcpdump on both endpoints. Well, actually you probably only need to use wireshark from the laptop side. Check to see if the requests from the client are seen by the dhcp server. If they are they should be in /var/log/messages and in logs/pfdhcplistener.log. If they are not, then the server is not really in the same broadcast domain as the laptop. If the server does see the requests from the client, then you need to see if the client ever receives the replies to its requests. Use wireshark to snoop on the traffic from the laptop and see if the reply comes back from the server. If either of the server or client is not getting requests or replies then it’s a networking issue. -- Louis Munro [email protected] :: www.inverse.ca +1.514.447.4918 x125 :: +1 (866) 353-6153 x125 Inverse inc. :: Leaders behind SOGo (www.sogo.nu) and PacketFence (www.packetfence.org) On Jun 3, 2015, at 12:03 , Sohaib Afourid <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, It's doesnt seem like you guy will get rid of me any time sooner. > So my laptop now is in the registration vlan, i have dhcp enabled in the > networks.conf file but it doesnt get an ip address. > I have the management and normal vlan configured in my switch. > should i change or add something in dhcpd.conf or dhcp_fingerprints.conf ? > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > PacketFence-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users
