Re: [Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp-host=hostnameonly does not work

2022-07-04 Thread James Feeney via Dnsmasq-discuss
Also, /etc/ethers does not accept IPv6 addresses, and, even when using the hostname instead, the ether address will not associate with >> an IPv6 address in /etc/hosts. Again, "dhcp-host=..." still has to be used for DHCPv6. Oops - I had "bind-interfaces" instead of "bind-dynamic", and

dnsmasq 2.86 and dnsmasq-git 2.87test8.r16.g770bce9-1 Does dnsmasq create dns entries for hosts with dhcp-host= entries? Or, instead, must all of these dhcp-host= hosts be redundantly listed in /etc/hosts? For example, $ host 172.16.16.2 ;; Got bad packet: extra input data 74 bytes 5c c8 85

[Dnsmasq-discuss] "dhcp-range" - IPv6 "constructor" prefix length

2022-04-23 Thread James Feeney
Should the dhcp-range "constructor" feature work with a prefix length greater than 64? The man page says: For IPv6, the parameters are slightly different: instead of netmask and broadcast address, there is an optional prefix length which must be equal to or larger th[a]n the prefix

It seems that, every so often, dnsmasq needs to be restarted - unless we blame WIDE dhcpv6. Here, dnsmasq has been running for about a week, and a newly started dhcpv6 client will show things like this in the log: dhcp6c[412]: dhcp6_get_options: get DHCP option identity association, len 18
