Public bug reported: My server's (primarily a NAT box/802.11g hotspot) network configuration:
Ubuntu release: 10.04 LTS External interface: eth3 Internal interface: br0 (bridging eth2 and wlan0) I run dhcp3-server on my internal interface to supply private (192.168.*) IP addresses to wired and wireless devices throughout my apartment. I recently upgraded this server from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS. After the upgrade I've faced some problems with the startup process. The issue I'm reporting here has to do with dhcp3-server failing to start during boot. >From what I can tell, upstart begins bringing up br0, which takes perhaps 15 >seconds. While br0 is coming up (and still has an address of 0.0.0.0), the >dhcp3-server init script is started, but fails because 0.0.0.0 is not a >declared network and dhcpd fails to start, reporting: May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: No subnet declaration for br0 (0.0.0.0). May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on br0. If this is not what May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: you want, please write a subnet declaration May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segment May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: to which interface br0 is attached. ** May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: May 13 22:29:40 firewall dhcpd: Not configured to listen on any interfaces! It seems that dhcpd should start (or restart) when upstart brings up the interfaces it is configured to listen on. ** Affects: dhcp3 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- dhcp3-server launches before upstart brings all interface, thus failing to start https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/580319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
