We use the dhcp server within our microsoft ads. This dhcp server supports some options that we need but the astaro dhcp server don't provide.
So we have to use microsoft dhcp server but our clients are in other broadcast domains. The connections between these domains will go throw the astaro in the future.
All I can think of is using some sort of NAT to get the DHCP packets forwarded, but I think you will have problems if both sides of the firewall use the same subnet.
ASL is shipped without a dhcp relay agent, sorry. Since V5 is RPM-based, you could try to install a rpm (but that will void you support).
DHCP is a broadcast-protocol. Therefore NAT is not a solution, since broadcasts are per definition not routed. The relay agent listens on an interface and works as a "proxy" for all dhcp requests on the connected network (that means it "translates" it and forwards it to a network on another interface, resulting dhcp ack's are "retranslated").
if I try to install a dhcpxx.rpm for SuSe on Astaro, occurs a message that it needs libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3). It seems that ASL version is 2.2.5 but SuSe has glibc versions 2.2.3 or 2.3.3.
To Astaro Team - isn't it a good idea to build in ASL a dhcp relay agent? The Cisco PIX, e.g. has one now.
it would be a possibility, but we intend many broadcast domains (more then 20).To install a Windows relay agent in any broadcast domain isn't a very well solution.
Hi, I have the same "problem" here. My network consists of three broadcast domains and I want to use only one DHCP-Server for all connected networks (and no additional standalone relays).
Why is there no DHCP-relay agent in ASL? Is it a security problem or does nobody need it?
