DHCP is inconsistant #236

Open ndo360 opened 3 years ago

Greetings!

I was hoping I could get her some insight with an peculiar issue I am having.

Right now I am running a linux server that has a DHCP service running, as well as a FreeLAN, which should allow clients to join and gain their IP address automatically. The issue I am having is that my clients who connect are having inconsistent results in obtaining an IP address.

The Host: The host is running dnsmasq for the DHCP server, and it listens on the tap interface for incoming connections. FreeLAN is started by this command:

freelan --security.passphrase "my secret" --switch.relay_mode_enabled yes

Clients: Clients join using the following command:

freelan --security.passphrase "my secret" --fscp.contact [IP_ADDRESS]:12000 --tap_adapter.ipv4_dhcp 1 --tap_adapter.dhcp_proxy_enabled 0 --tap_adapter.metric 1

Am I doing anything wrong? (Also internet does drop out for a bit for the client when they do get their address for a brief minute or two.)

I tried to use DHCP with Freelan. But it is better to just use settings in config. I think return of Freelan Server will solve IP lease problems

Is it confirmed that the FreeLAN Server will make a return in version 3.0?
