How do I serve DHCP from an OpenStack Instance to a physical server external to OpenStack?
Issue
- Customer wants to serve DHCP from an instance to a host outside of OpenStack
- Customer is using ISC DHCP on instance, not OpenStack's DHCP server
- Customer is using a flat provider network as described in Is it possible to create an OpenStack instance directly connected to an external network?
- DHCP logs show DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER; but not DHCPREQUEST nor DHCPACK
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x
- Red Hat OpenStack Platform 5.x
- dhcp-4.2.x
