EFW Support

Just starting to test EFW Community 3.2.2 with all updates as of yesterday. 

Started with 2 interfaces...one green one red.  Everything worked as expected.

Since, I have added 4 additional interfaces.  I have added 1 to Orange and the other 3 to Green.  DHCP is enabled on both Green and Orange.

Green DHCP only will assign an address the original eth1.  When I try to obtain a lease from eth2-4 I get noting.

Orange DHCP works as expected with the single interface eht5.

I'd like to get DHCP working on ALL Green interfaces and not just eth1.  Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.

Hello Kiko,

Could you try adding adding below Line to dhcpd.conf file

option 1: DHCPDARGS="eth0 eth1";
option 2: INTERFACES="eth1 eth2";

To make permanent changes you have add to dhcpd.conf.templet file

bye the way i have not tested these settings but these config options are unix style for dhcp server to listen for specified interfaces.

Regard's

Hi Again,

I tested in my test firewall efw3.22:
1. modify green interface of EFW that is br0 in config file
vim /var/efw/ethernet/br0
eth0
eth1

save and reboot your EFW.

note: when i add 3rd nic I lost communication to EFW and getting huge RTOs, where as with 2 NICs it was bit stable. (this might be limitation of efw322 i am not sure).

and DHCP leases are also working as expected, i guess br0 is bonding with eth0 and eth1 NICs

2. you could achive this via web gui: system> network configuration>  wizard.

good luck

This configuration make no sense IMHO.. The GREEN it's a bridge so it's not necessary to add the interfaces by edit the dhcpd.conf.tmpl
Just check if the interfaces are added into the bridge with "brctl show"
