Hello Nikola,

Well, br0 is the local LAN interface on the gateway and the local LAN IP of the gateway (also DHCP-server) is 10.1.1.1.
So in the network 10.1.1.0/26, 10.1.1.63 is the local broadcast address.

Hi,

Maybe I'm misreading the bits you posted, but why would you have your

      # DHCP server unicast or broadcast IP address.
       server = 10.1.1.63
configured that way? Is that one and the same interface (with 10.1.1.1
on br0)? What is the reason of having a network broadcast IP address set
on a host?

I would focus on either running dnsmasq with full debug or strace-ing
it to see what's causing that "Operation not permitted".

Cheers

Hello,

I have a problem with the DHCP plugin.
I have Strongswan and DNSmasq on the same host (my Linux gateway) and
would like to issue IP adress from local LAN to remote access users,
however, I cant get it working. In the logging I can see Strongswan
sending DHCP Discover, and DNSmasq responding, however directly after
DNSmasq gives a strange error.

10.1.1.1 is my gateway. 10.1.1.63 is broadcast adress (local LAN
10.1.1.0/26). I have also tried changing broadcast in charon settings
to 255.255.255.255, but then there is no DHCPOFFER seen in the logs.

Below is my DHCP-plugin config.

dhcp {

      # Always use the configured server address.
       force_server_address = yes

      # Derive user-defined MAC address from hash of IKE identity.
      # identity_lease = yes

      # Interface name the plugin uses for address allocation.
       interface = br0 # Local interface where DNSmasq is listening

      # Whether to load the plugin. Can also be an integer to increase
      # the priority of this plugin.
      load = yes

      # DHCP server unicast or broadcast IP address.
       server = 10.1.1.63

}
