Do you use NetworkManager for wlan0? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am running Leap.

I have two network interfaces, eth0 and wlan0. I use wlan0 for my home LAN which supplies the Internet. I would like to have a DHCP server for eth0 to provide occasional high-speed wired connections for FTP/Samba transfers. I do not need to do any NAT, the link is for local transfers only.

I suspect you are using wicked for network managing. Since we have wicked all interfaces without a connection do not get an ip number on boot. "on boot" works like "a cable plugin". AFAIK this is not considered a bug, but a feature.

I am trying to use the standard OpenSUSE way. I have installed the "DHCP and DNS server" package in yast and am trying to condfigure DHCP in yast. But I get "error occurred while restarting the DHCP daemon".

When the dhcp server is started it fails because it cannot find an interface with ip number matching your dhcp configuration.

Here is the log with the apparent reason:

I did select eth0 in the DHCP config, and its address is 192.168.4.1, static, as shown in yast network settings (but for some reason the address is absent in ifconfig).

Here is the content of /etc/dhcpd.conf:

= # cat /etc/dhcpd.conf option domain-name "ramendik.local"; ddns-update-style none; default-lease-time 14400; ldap-dhcp-server-cn "ramendik.local"; subnet 192.168.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.4.2 192.168.4.100; default-lease-time 14400; max-lease-time 172800; } =

So, apparently a fitting subnet statement exists, but is not applied for eth0.

Your logs match the situation I described above.

How can I fix this, and what am I doing wrong with yast?

First, your problem shows that the possibility to give an interface an ip number on boot is important. Maybe one should consider a bug report against wicked. Meanwhile you should try another type of network managment: NetworkManager or networkd.
