[7.002] DHCP-Bug

Suppentrulli · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2007, 10:50 AM

Once again... i already mentioned this bug some time ago, but i still can't find in in the V7-KIL.

It is not possible to change the "DHCP-Server" for an existing static mapping. After saving, the dhcp-interface is still the same as before.

is the other interface a different segment? have you released and renewed? more details would be good. i have changed static mappings to different subnets many times on 7.002

sometimes it works, sometimes not.

I have two internal networks (internal, dmz), each one is connected to my asg and for my clients there are five static mappings defined, four internal clients and one dmz client. Now moving a client-mapping from one network to the other is in nearly all cases not possible. I use "edit", change the "DHCP Server" and enter an unused IP-Address (from the new network) - but asg saves only the new ip-address, the "DHCP Server" stays the same.

It's reproducable...

After trying it again, my dhcp-log is full with this text:

Can you open a support ticket?

I don't think so, i'm a homeuser 'only'

BarryG · #7 (**permalink**) 04-10-2007, 04:35 AM

Well, you could try I guess, via the my.astaro.com portal.

Also, you can try emailing support@astaro.com iirc.

there would be more to it than just changing the pointers. I am assuming that your 2 networks are served by 2 different NICs, correct? If so, I would also assume that you have 2 independant switches tied to those nics. You need to reassign the hardware connections before you change the settings in your router... i would assume. I cant imagine what kinds of errors you would get if you were trying to get serviced from a segment you arent even attached to. Is this possibly your problem?

Hi there,
I've got a similar problem. My "DMZ" and internal network is on a bridge on the same network. I am using 7.004. I can't use dhcp relay as it requires 2 interfaces and it doesn't except a bridge interface twice. At the moment i have a backend rule to allow all traffic between the interface. We are in testing phase so DMZ is not completely protected by packet filter yet. I need to resolve this issue. If anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue, kindly let me know.
Regards,
Bilal.

@Bilal: that is not similar to my first mentioned problem, sorry...

@coscraze: no, that is not my problem. My problem is/was, that i just moved a client to another segment that is connected to the firewall too. for this reason i had to change the dhcp-mapping, but asg did not save the records new interface. i had to delete and add it again. => just a small bug.

but nobody from astaro seems to be interested in bugs (that is my impression during the last months), so i stopped describing them in this forum, although there are A LOT OF bugs in 7.004:

=> POP3-proxy with prefetch: did never work...
=> End-user-portal: i get a lot of server-500 errors...
=> HTTP-proxy: sometimes just don't work! or it blocks uncategorized website although "Block uncategorized websites" is switched off...
=> Site2site-VPNs: i got 3 tunnels, from time to time (after a week or more) they stop working. only reboot helps, logs are empty

in general 7.004 is NOT a stable release, it is beta-software. and if astaro would participate more in this forum, i would test a lot more but at the moment i am just a bit frustrated
