eth0 - 192.168.0.1/24
eth0:1 - 10.1.42.1/24
We want DHCP server to serve IP addresses only from 10.1.42.0/24 . If we do this in config file like this:
subnet 10.1.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.42.30 10.1.42.90;
option broadcast-address 10.1.42.255;
option routers 10.1.42.1;
}
it will fail to start and produce the following error:
dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth0 (192.168.0.1).
The correct configuration is to use shared-network parameter and define all the networks of the physical interface inside it.
shared-network horizon9net {
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
subnet 10.1.42.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.42.30 10.1.42.90;
option broadcast-address 10.1.42.255;
option routers 10.1.42.1;
}
}
