Dear Derek,
Thanks for your quick response. I think I
could not describe my problem/query properly.
DHCPD is running on only one interface (eth0) of my PF server, no issue with
that.
Actually at the WAN side (upstream) of my PF server there is another DHCP
server is running (though PF server WAN has static IP). Since pfdhcplistener is
running at eth1(WAN) also, in the node (web)page I can see many unregistered
nodes of WAN network which I don't want.
I want to see only those nodes in the webpage which are
under PF server and who are getting IP addresses from DHCP server running in PF
server (on eth0). Hope pfdhcplistener on eth0 only can catch those.
So I want to run only one instance of pfdhcplistener on interface eth0
(pfdhcplistener_eth0). Please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks again Derek.
Regards,
--Chinmay

Subject: Re: [PacketFence-users] pfdhcplistener
Chinmay,The packetfence server is working as a DHCP server.I see that two
pfdhcplisteners are
running: pfdhcplistener_eth0, pfdhcplistener_eth1.But I want to run
only one pfdhcplistener viz. pfdhcplistener_eth0. Can it be possible (or
it may cause other problem)? Which config item do I need to modify for
that?‘pfdhcplistener’, as its name says, listen for dhcp packets.PacketFence
starts a ‘pfdhcplistener’ daemon on each of the required network interfaces (in
this case, management and inline).‘pfdhcplistener’ is not acting as a DHCP
server, dhcpd is. ‘pfdhcplistener’ is only listening to DHCP packet for MAC
<-> IP association useful in PacketFence.If you do a ps uafx | grep
dhcpdyou should see the dhcpd daemon running with only eth0 as listening
interface.
