Hello
I am an administrator network and I must install a DHCP server.
I started one but it allows a IP to workstation by the last range's IP.
That is not normal.
Here the config network used :
the IP workstations : 192.168.220.1 to 192.168.222.254 with a net mask 255.255.252.0.
My distribution is Redhat Enterprise 3, DHCP 3.0pl2
My dhcpd.conf :
It might have to do with using a class B mask with a class C address. Is there a reason for this or can you just use 255.255.255.0 as your mask? You can try it to see if it behaves as expected. Then you will at least know what direction to take.
You're being pretty vague as to what is actually wrong.... you say i allocates an address within the given range... so what's the problem? it's *not* meant to give them out in any particular order.. seems like it's doing exactly what you're asking of it.
the problem is : for the firts wks connected, my dhcp assign the last ip of the range.ex: 192.168.222.254 and not the 192.168.220.1.
There is a problem.
