Unable to set up a simple DHCPv6 configuration

[David Lee]

Hi again.

My network setup is like this:

+------------------------------+         +----------------------------+
| Windows7 SP1 x64             |         | Debian Jessie x86          |
| Jagornet DHCP server 2.0.4   |         | DHCPv6 Client (dhclient)   |
|                              |         |                            |
| Local Area Connection (eth5) |         | eth0                       |
|                              |         |                            |
| IP addr: fd33:3333::1/64     |         | IP addr: via DHCPv6        |
| IP addr: 192.168.10.1        |         |                            |
| MAC addr 11-11-11-11-11-11   |         | MAC addr 22-22-22-22-22-22 |
+------------------------------+         +----------------------------+
              |                                        |
              +----------------------------------------+


DHCPv6 Server

• "Local Area Connection" corresponds to "eth5" as reported via "dhcpserver.cmd -li"
• DHCPv6 server is configured to give out leases from fd33:3333::100 to fd33:3333::250
• DHCPv6 server is started via "dhcpserver.cmd -6m eth5 -6u fd33:3333::1"

Client

• The client was supposed to get a lease from the DHCP server but couldn't. The error was:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.net.Inet4Address cannot be cast to java.net.Inet6Address 

Attachment

• The config file (dhcpserver.xml)
• The log after typing the startup command but before giving out leases (dhcpserver-startup.log)
• The log when the client attempts to get a IPv6 lease (dhcpserver.log).

Any help is appreciated.

David Lee.

Thanks for the reply. Tried v 2.0.5 but got another error (see line 107 of the attachment).

Hi David,

This problem occurs with the Java 8 runtime and the thirdparty Java bean library used by Jagornet DHCP.  Please use Java 7 runtime as a workaround until these libraries are upgraded and a compatible Jagornet DHCP server is released.

Thanks,

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply and I would like to confirm that Jagornet DHCP does indeed work under Java 7.
