i am trying to start dhcp server on my linux system which contains two nic cards. when i started it using the command "/sbin/etc/service dhcpd start" it started properly but in /var/log/messages file i can see error the message

"No subnet declaration for eth1 (192.168.200.2).** Ignoring requests on eth1. If this is not what you want, please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the network segmentto which interface eth1 is attached. **"


and my etc/dhcpd.conf file contents are

ddns-update-style none;
subnet 135.254.179.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
}
subnet 192.168.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.200.2;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option bootfile-name "include ftp://ng3600reg9:tigris@192.168.200.2/tmp/adpi.adp";
range 192.168.200.1 192.168.200.1;
default-lease-time 0;
max-lease-time 0;

}

pleas help me on this issue

I don't see anything about your config file that looks wrong (although I suggest posting stuff like that and source code in [CODE] [/CODE] tags to preserve readability). What happens if you swap the postions of the two subnet stanzas within the file? Does the server actually work correctly? Are you sure the error message is current, and not from some prior configuration? It might be helpful to post the details of your software & version.

Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

What linux distribution/version are you running?

You need to specify the interface in the dhcpd.conf file by adding dhcdpargs=eth1 or eth0 i.e. whatever adapter is attached to your local LAN. If your network is more complicated please post the details.
