Bug#602591: allow to choose different IP settings - use case?
[Marius Bjørnstad Kotsbak 2011-07-04] But I guess it will break features, like the netboot, if the existing DHCP server is not modified to point to the tjeners ltsp images... It will break a lot of features, if not done right. In Squeeze and Wheezy, we provide a script subnet-change taking care of changing the IP network on the server, and as the clients should be using dynamic setup (might be missing samba and munin setup), clients should just adapt to the IP setup on the main server and most stuff will just work. We could extend this during installation to collect the subnet to use in d-i, and call subnet-change automatically at the end of the first boot to adjust LDAP and all other parts that need to change and finish off with a reboot. :) Something for Jessie? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi! What is really the use case for this? I can see two that the user thinks about: 1) There is already a network set up that the user wants to use. This will fail if there is already a DHCP server on that network (which I guess it often is) since Debian-edu provides its own. It will also fail if the network is already using some of the IP addresses Debian-edu has preconfigured. Is the request here to be able to configure all of the network config to appropriate IP addresses in the existing network? 2) User already has a router that he wants to use. If this is not the rare case that there is a dedicated network set up with no DHCP server (but with other network config than Debian-edu uses), it should be easy to configure that network with the correct settings. This should just be to add a switch and connect to an unused port of the existing router, or add another software based (e.g. IPCop/floppyfw) or hardware based router. -- Marius -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
