DHCP Leasing Issue

[wizzkid]

Hi,

I setup DHCP on CentOS 5.5. My issue is whenever my client leases, the server gave the last available IP.

eg. my dhcp ip range is 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.100, the server gave me 192.168.1.100, then 192.168.1.99 for the second machine.

How to configure the dhcp to give the front numbers, eg 192.168.1.10 first, then 192.168.1.11 and so on......

Then on option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
how can I include second nameserver ? 8.8.4.4

See below for my dhcpd.conf

dns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

# --- default gateway
        option routers                  192.168.1.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;

        option nis-domain               "fwdhcp";
        option domain-name              "fwdhcp";
        option domain-name-servers       8.8.8.8;

        option time-offset              -18000; # Eastern Standard Time
#       option ntp-servers              192.168.1.1;
#       option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.1;
# --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
#       option netbios-node-type 2;

        range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
        default-lease-time 21600;
        max-lease-time 43200;

        # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
        host ns {
                next-server marvin.redhat.com;
                hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
                fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
}
}

Hope you can help me.

Thanks!

how can I include second nameserver ? 8.8.4.4

Google:

range 192.168.1.128 192.168.1.254;                   # Range of IP addresses to be issued to DHCP clients
           option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;    # Default subnet mask to be used by DHCP clients
           option broadcast-address        192.168.1.255;    # Default broadcastaddress to be used by DHCP clients
           option routers                  192.168.1.1;      # Default gateway to be used by DHCP clients
           option domain-name              "your-domain.org";
           option domain-name-servers      40.175.42.254, 40.175.42.253;           # Default DNS to be used by DHCP clients
           option netbios-name-servers     192.168.1.100;    # Specify a WINS server for MS/Windows clients.

How to configure the dhcp to give the front numbers, eg 192.168.1.10 first, then 192.168.1.11 and so on......

Read the man page - it may say:

The DHCP server generates the list of available IP addresses from a
hash table. This means that the addresses are not sorted in any par-
ticular order, and so it is not possible to predict the order in which
the DHCP server will allocate IP addresses. Users of previous ver-
sions of the ISC DHCP server may have become accustomed to the DHCP
server allocating IP addresses in ascending order, but this is no
longer possible, and there is no way to configure this behavior with
version 3 of the ISC DHCP server.

From the man pages

The DHCP server generates the list of available IP addresses from a hash table. This means that the addresses are not sorted in any particular order, and so it is not possible to predict the order in which the DHCP server will allocate IP addresses. Users of previous versions of the ISC DHCP server may have become accustomed to the DHCP server allocating IP addresses in ascending order, but this is no longer possible, and there is no way to configure this behavior with version 3 of the ISC DHCP server.

As you can see it isn't possible.

Then on option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8;
how can I include second nameserver ? 8.8.4.4

Just add the second host to the line separated by a comma.
