Does anyone know of a way to force a workstation to use a specific DHCP
server ? I'm just into a situation where a Windows Server 2003 have DHCP
server active and the phone system also have DHCP server active.Several workstations keeps getting their IP information from the phone DHCP
server rather than the Windows 2003 DHCP server. I know the real fix is to kill the DHCP server on the phone system but our
phone provider need to use the DHCP server for the phone configuration.Any ideas are welcome.Thank you !Tanguy Brasseur
You already know the answer. And no, you can't make a machine use a specific
DHCP. You can play around with DHCP vendor and other options, but to please
the phone vendor? Ask the phone vendor what specifically is the phone system
looking for DHCP options-wise.If they can't answer that question, then your only course of action is to
put the phone system on a separate switch with their own subnet. I think I
would have probably done that just to keep them separate, however I've
worked in environments with an Avaya phone system on the same subnet as
other machines, and we simply used Windows DHCP and set specific vendor
options at Avya's direction in regards how to set it up.--

You cannot have more than one DHCP server on the wire. You MUST kill one or
the other.The windows server can be configured to offer anything the phone system
needs. Find out what it needs and put that in your windows DHCP server.You will not ever get it working with the two of them running at the same
time.-Bill Kearney
The simple answer is don't run two of them. Especially in a domain
environment. When expecting to use a domain-integrated DHCP server it an
exceptionally bad idea to use non-Windows DHCP services. DHCP feeds into
DNS and AD, but that's only with a Windows DHCP server, and one authorized
in the AD. When using AD integration it's indeed possible to use more than
one *windows* DHCP server. It's often a good plan to do so.But using a mix of a Windows and a non-Windows DHCP server is a bad plan.
Mainly because the non-windows server won't (can't) populate the AD and DNS
entries. Doing so would lose all the AD-integation features.-Bill
I have had consistent problems with my oc trying to connect to the internet through my extender. It will take 10-15 minutes to connect to the internet and stay connected but today it has not been able to connect at all. It keeps saying "Cant reach the DHCP server. The network connection quality might be low." And sometimes it would say "no internet connection - connected locally only". I don't understand whats wrong because I've used the extender since last year august and ive only had problems start last month and it keeps getting worse. I've deduced that it is not my PC ethernet port's problem nor is it my ethernet cable. My phones connect to the 5Ghz band just fine and I get the wifi speeds that are expected. I also acquired an RE650 yesterday which worked straight away and my pc connected immediately but it quickly got the same problem as my RE500x and refuses to connect to the internet. I dont have access to the router as i live in the flat and i recently called the isp to change the extender they use.
I tried that a few days ago and it didnt work. I tried doing it just now following the link and it didnt work either. But as soon as i made the ip assignment automatic again it connected to the internet. I would like to understand why it connects only after 10 or so minutes rather than straught away.
Ive only got my samsung, iphone and my PC. My pc is the only one that struggles to connect instantly. I have the re550x extender which i connect my ethernet through since i have no ethernet room in my flat. From what i know the network me and the other tenants use is a wifi extender on our floor. We have no access to the primary connection point, so essentially im connecting my extender to the wifi extender on our floor. If i could i would directly run an ethernet cable from that wifi extender into my room, but i live on the ground floor and the main entrance people walk through is outside my door so i cant. I cant get the make and model of the wifi extender outside my room since its bolted to the wall. I recently updated to windows 11 but that hasnt had any positive or negative impacts.
It cant be the position of the wifi extender because its been in the same place since i got it... its always displayed a blue led. As ive said it works fine on my phones but it struggles to make my pc connect to the internet
I use an ASUS ROG STRIX X-370 GAMING motherboard which has an Intel(R) I211 Gigabit Network Connection network adapter. I recently upgraded to windows 11 but the problem has persisted since ive had windows 10. I tried using a separate network card in my motherboard's pcie slot and they seemed to work for one day and it went back to the same problem of having to restart my computer multiple times to get a chance of connecting to the internet. Let me know if theres any other details i need to share
Go to Start menu > Settings, then select Network and Internet. In the left navigation pane, select Status to make sure you're viewing the network status window. Then scroll down until you see the Network Reset link. Click the Network Reset link and review the Network Reset information message.
drivers have been updated since 2 months ago way before the problem started. I have done the network reset around 4 times, 5 now as im typing this message. None of the resets have helped with this. My extender also decided to cut out of all 5ghz reception and i had to reset it.
I know the windows world is not for you now but I have this technical glitch. using a windows DHCP I need to set up 4 VLANs and have them fully functional. Pointing me in the right direction would readily help.
If you are not virtualization the windows server, you will either need 4 physical NICs going to a switch that has the ports on vlans that you want or set up NIC teaming with vlans assigned if you only have 1 NIC (do a quick google).
I have a single (physical) Windows 2019 server with 4 DHCP scopes defined. I have 4 vlans defined within pfSense on the LAN interface, and the DHCP Helper package within pfSense enabled and pointing at the windows DHCP server.
The pfSense box is connected from the LAN to a UniFi switch with all lans enabled, and LLDP enabled to auto voice the cisco handsets to the correct vlan without needing to mess with them phone provisioning scripts. I have the wifi ssid broadcasting a vlan only network for wifi. CCTV is on a separate VLAN.
I have nxlog configured to send logs from a DHCP server to my Graylog cluster. It works fine for system-generated events, but I want the following: Windows DHCP Server stores the log of IP leases/renews in files located at %Windir%\System32\DHCP. It makes one file per day, then re-writes each file every week.
Windows DHCP CSV fields depend on the windows server version, you might need to tweak a bit. This is why I ended up not using CSV extractors (neither in nxlog or in Graylog), but instead I used split by -extractors. If you combine the content pack with material from the link I posted, you probably can get it working pretty quickly.
You could first try sending the raw line without parsing (i.e. comment out the parse_csv part.), as your Windows server version might not be the same as the one used in the examples. Also, parse_json is not necessary, when sending to GELF input.
I think adding a conversion to syslog format should not help with permission problems on files. The time of the file deletion also sounds weird, I would guess that the DHCP server would rotate the file about midnight.
To do this on recent Fedora and Arch, it is necessary to set dhcp-client-identifier = hardware to get DHCP to work. I suspect the same is true on 17.10. However, Artful uses netplan and systemd-networkd.
These are specifics of how the above might be solved, though. The overall question is how to use the MS Windows Server 2012 DHCP server with MAC reservations with Ubuntu 17.10 server using netplan. I may be able to request reconfiguration of the DHCP server if it won't have a significant effect on other clients, or can be done per-reservation somehow.
I recently encountered this as well. The answer is in the netplan.io examples. You can add the line dhcp-identifier: mac to the yaml file in /etc/netplan/ and then run netplan apply to apply the change immediately.
This solves the duplicate IP issue by forcing the Ubuntu client to generate a new machine-id which in turn causes netplan/networkd to generate a new DUID so you'll get a new IP address from your DHCP server as you would expect.
.....it doesn't, and explains the problems I'm having. I have a thread below in which I complain about devices not being able to resolve via hostname with a fortigate 200D handling DHCP and DNS. We were blaming it initially on the devices, but since this is the same behavior as the thread linked above.....well.... I downloaded a freeware DHCP / DNS server and had no problems resolving local DNS hostnames via DHCP. So, the problem isn't the devices.
I would appreciate some confirmation on this, because if our 200D doesn't support a basic DHCP / DNS functionality like this then we will be looking for an alternate product. Note our 200D is still on 5.4.1.....possible this issue has been patched?
