DHCP Server Problem

Latest response

Is it possible to setup a DHCP server that lends a range of ips to a subnet where the DHCP server doesn't have the interface?

For example the DHCP server is setup to a red hat box with only one interface card with ip 165.65.110.99.

The /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf is:

 

DHCPDARGS=eth0;
 
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option routers                  192.168.100.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;
 
        option domain-name              "lsnet.ucla.edu";
        option domain-name-servers       164.67.7.60, 164.67.60.60;
 
        option time-offset              -8;
 
        range 192.168.100.11 192.168.100.100;
        range 192.168.100.110 192.168.100.200;
}
 
# reservation example
host apex {
   option host-name "test.lifesci.ucla.edu";
   hardware ethernet 00:A0:78:8E:9E:AA;
   fixed-address 192.168.6.47;
}
DHCPDARGS=eth0;
 
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option routers                  192.168.100.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;
 
        option domain-name              "lsnet.ucla.edu";
        option domain-name-servers       164.67.7.60, 164.67.60.60;
 
        option time-offset              -8;
 
        range 192.168.100.11 192.168.100.100;
        range 192.168.100.110 192.168.100.200;
}
 
# reservation example
host apex {
   option host-name "test.lifesci.ucla.edu";
   hardware ethernet 00:A0:78:8E:9E:AA;
   fixed-address 192.168.6.47;
}

 

DHCPDARGS=eth0;
 
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
        option routers                  192.168.100.1;
        option subnet-mask              255.255.255.0;
 
        option domain-name              "lsnet.mydomain.org";
        option domain-name-servers       165.67.7.60, 165.67.60.60;
 
        option time-offset              -8;
 
        range 192.168.100.11 192.168.100.100;
        range 192.168.100.110 192.168.100.200;
}
 
# reservation example
host apex {
   option host-name "test.mydomain.org";
   hardware ethernet 00:A0:78:8E:9D:AA;
   fixed-address 192.168.6.47;
}
 
The red hat box where I'm running the DHCP server doesn't have a defined interfact to the newtowk 192.168.100.0.
 
After I start the service I get this in the /var/log/messages

Could anybody shed some light on what is wrong on m configuration?
 
Thanks
