Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please would you let me know how I can use DHCP with FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
to register the FreeBSD box's hostname/client identifier with a dynamic
DDNS.
MS Windows 98 boxes do just fine.
Here is my dhclient.conf
interface "fxp0" {
send host-name "PC09011";
send dhcp-client-identifier "PC09011";
}
> ifconfig
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.3.110 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 10.255.255.255
ether 00:d0:b7:85:28:40
media: autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
> hostname
lease {
interface "fxp0";
fixed-address 10.0.3.110;
option subnet-mask 255.0.0.0;
option routers 10.254.254.254;
option domain-name-servers 10.0.100.254,10.0.100.252;
option domain-name "aipo.gov.au";
option dhcp-lease-time 259200;
option dhcp-message-type 5;
option dhcp-server-identifier 10.0.100.29;
renew 6 2001/9/8 16:20:40;
rebind 0 2001/9/9 19:20:40;
expire 1 2001/9/10 04:20:40;
}
>
Here are the lease lines from the ISC DHCP server (again working quite
happily with other DDNS clients)
Sep 7 14:20:40 wins dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.3.110 from
00:d0:b7:85:28:40 (PC09011) via fxp0
Sep 7 14:20:40 wins dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.3.110 to 00:d0:b7:85:28:40
(PC09011) via fxp0
Thank you,
Yours sincerely.
