I have configured a Linux dhcpd server with multiple scopes on the same interface(eth0). The devices which needs these IP address(DHCP clients) are on two different remote networks. The networking team has completed all the configuration including DHCP relays in between so the requests are reaching my DHCP server in the following format:
DHCPDISCOVER from macaddress via 10.238.16.10 (remote_network_1)
DHCPDISCOVER from macaddress via 10.238.25.20 (remote_network_2)
(I think the IPs mentioned above belongs to the remote routers which are forwarding DHCP requests to my server.)
Right now the DHCP server is successfully assigning IPs from the first configured scope(10.238.16.x) to clients requesting from both remote_network_1 and remote_network_2.
How can I configure it so that when a request comes in from 10.238.16.10, it assigns an 10.238.16.X IP and when it comes from 10.238.25.20, it assigns an 10.238.25.X IP.
I know there are other ways to tackle this issue - like configuring dhcpd to listen on two different interfaces etc, but that won't work for me.
I tried "option broadcast-address" but that didn't work.
My dhcpd.conf:
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 6000;
max-lease-time 72000;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 10.238.24.0 netmask 255.255.255.248 {
}
shared-network DA {
subnet 10.238.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
range 10.238.16.52 10.238.16.254;
option routers 10.238.24.9;
option broadcast-address 10.238.16.255;
}
subnet 10.238.25.0 netmask 255.255.255.0{
range 10.238.25.52 10.238.25.254;
option routers 10.238.24.9;
option broadcast-address 10.238.25.255;
}
}
