Re: [Server-devel] DNS/DHCP configuration questions/issues
It's only a DNS issue now between dhcpd/named and the xos. As we were not able to get the right dhcpd/bind configuration, we just dropped it, and used dnsmasq instead. dnsmasq is really easy to configure, and provide DNS and dhcp capabilities. It's only matter of one single file. After some sleep and final settings, we would publish our configuration.

But as explained before, the dhcp server was sending the ip address, we only get an issue with the DNS (not set on the client automatically). Moreover, the options should be defined in the subnet, not global as done in the original file. Still no luck. Hopefully it's only matter of one file and 5 or 6 lines with dnsmasq.

We've heard and I've seen no other issues previously with this configuration. Hopefully it's only matter of one file and 5 or 6 lines with dnsmasq. Glad you got it sorted.

Re: [Server-devel] DNS/DHCP configuration questions/issues
Dear Ruben, folks,
DHCPDARGS=wlan0
^ I think this is both incorrect and unnecessary.
For correctness it should be DHCPDARGS=wlan0;
But as long as wlan0 is assigned to the 172.18.96.0 network then you do not
need to limit the configuration to an interface.
the dhcpd configs works for IP assignment
wlan0 (802.11 wifi dongle on the server) is on the 172.18.96.0/19 subnet
xos gets an ip but nothing in the /etc/resolv.conf on the xo side
neither domain that allows to register (xmlrpc client to
http://localhost:8080) nor to moodle (http://localhost) but using
directly the IP of the schoolserver works.
It's only a DNS issue now between dhcpd/named and the xos.
My best regards,
Xavier Carcelle.
What are you using for a configuration:
-WAN - eth0 - XS - eth1 - switch - AP - XO?
-WAN - etho - XS - wlan1(1)- XO? In which case, what are you using to share
the wlan connection?
When the XO does connect, what does it receive for an IP address?
subnet 172.18.96.0 netmask 255.255.224.0 {
option routers 172.18.96.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.224.0;
option broadcast-address 172.18.127.255;
# this is the whole range we have available - 8K addresses
# range 172.18.96.2 172.18.127.254;
# instead, we'll save 510 addresses for later.
range 172.18.96.2 172.18.125.254;
# the other /24s:
# - 172.18.126.0/24 for static IP addresses
# for printers, AP management consoles, etc.
# - 172.18.127.0/24 for temporary addresses for

[Server-devel] DNS/DHCP configuration questions/issues
Dear XS fellows,
We are currently configuring the XS server for the deployment in
Madagascar and have some issues on the DNS/DHCP.
Could you resume the main part of the DNS/DHCP config on the XS (using
2 interfaces : eth0 for WAN uplink, wlan0 for LAN wifi delivering IPs,
DNS to XOs)
=We dont seem to have the domain and nameserver propagated to the
/etc/resolv.conf of the XOs
=Our /etc/dhcp-xs.conf is :
FILE
#
# School server 1 DHCP Server Configuration file.
#
ddns-update-style interim;
#ignore client-updates;
option domain-name nosykomba.org;
option domain-name-servers 172.18.96.1;
option ntp-servers 172.18.96.1;
DHCPDARGS=wlan0
subnet 172.18.96.0 netmask 255.255.224.0 {
