Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.3.5-3+deb9u1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** Hi, I was wondering why the DHCP server still binds to the IPv6 address, too. I have two internal IPv4 addresses on the eth0 and eth0:0 interface and one IPv6 address. ------------ root@pdns:/etc/default# cat /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server # Defaults for dhcp initscript # sourced by /etc/init.d/dhcp # installed at /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server by the maintainer scripts # # This is a POSIX shell fragment # # On what interfaces should the DHCP server (dhcpd) serve DHCP requests? # Separate multiple interfaces with spaces, e.g. "eth0 eth1". INTERFACESv4="eth0 eth0:0" OPTIONS="-4" ------------------- root@pdns:/etc/default# lsof -i -P|grep dhcp dhcpd 1479 root 8u IPv4 20538 0t0 UDP *:67 dhcpd 1479 root 20u IPv4 20522 0t0 UDP *:59311 dhcpd 1479 root 21u IPv6 20523 0t0 UDP *:61725 *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** --------- Why does it bind to the IPv6 address. And why does it need a second IPv4 binding to Port 59311 --------- root@pdns:/etc/default# ps awux|grep dhcpd root 1479 0.0 0.2 14212 9708 ? Ss 18:30 0:00 /usr/sbin/dhcpd -q -4 -cf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf -pf /var/run/dhcpd.pid --------- I am little bit puzzled about that behavior. Is it a bug or a 'feature' i didn't recognize in the man pages.
