Post by: jfontes on Tuesday 06 November 2007, 12:45:13 pm

After configure all functions that will be necessary in my firewall, tried configure the DHCP Server but itīs donīt work!

My DHCP Server status is STOPPED! Anyway the checkbox DHCP GREEN INTERFACE is checked!

Can someone help me, please?

Iīve to do this urgent!

I just try go to the shell and type:
# cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
# ./dhcpd start

The service DHCP will be START, but, when I restart the machine, the service DHCP go to STOPPED.

Please, help me!

Hi,

you have to check /etc/dhcpd.conf on your endian-box.

The GUI fills the dhcpd config file incorrect.
In my case i have to replace the netmask 24 with 255.255.255.0
Further i must enter the DHCP- Range manually. This entry from the GUI was fully incomplete (Only first Octet )

Small Config File for example you can find here: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/DHCP/x369.html#AEN382

After that you can start dhcp via direct ssh- acces on the Box: /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd start

have Fun

Thanks FFDeder, I did this and it now works. Is there a way to start the DHCP server when it reboots? I still have to do that manually when the machine restarts.
Thanks again!

Hi,

place the lines to start dhcpd in:

Quote
/etc/init.d/rc.local

If I'm correct it should load this after boot.

Let me know if it worked.
