I think dhcpcd will only listen on 0.0.0.0, on all or specified interfaces. I would have thought it would pick up newly active ports too - I mean, a switch might have a problem etc.
The address 0.0.0.0 is only used as a source address, never destination. The DHCP client will use it, until it learns it's address from the DHCP server.
Before dhcpd is up you mean? ISTR something like that - in earlier days, probably pre-wicked, we could keep broadcasting for an address, so when dhcpd finally woke up, it would still work (for a client). Wicked doesn't do that.
When dhcpcd woke up??? Also, does a DHCP client keep trying if there's no offer? I couldn't find info on that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
