dhclient - routing tables truncated.
Hi,
I have 3 cards on my computer and I am connected through one of them through internet. I am trying to test whether I can run dhcpd and dhclient on them. dhcpd server is running on eth0. This is my initial routing table. Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface x.x.x.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 x.x.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 But after I run dhclient eth1, my table changes its default and everything. Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface x.x.x.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 x.x.x.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default x.x.x.x 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 but the ip address is assigned properly. But when i do dhclient eth2, the routing table remains same and it shows the eth2 is up but no ip address is assigned. Also, the client gives an message: SIOCADDRT: File exists. And if I remove the two new devices added, the routing table is truncated to just two entries. I want to know why the ip address is not assigned to the second device and why my routing table is all messed up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Virendra. |
