ubuntu

smccloud can you clarify the problem?

Is your hda not getting a static IP or is this a client.
For me the hda always gives the static IP that is entered on amahi.org (that is the host part, the network part seems to change with the net number).
not sure if I have ever seen this (at least not last half year or so, and I did a fair amount of installs).

Or is this for HDA clients. In that case it is more of a problem at the client side?

Can you explain in more detail and/or give steps how you got there?

some more questions:

do you get a /etc/network/interfaces with a static ip?
(or put up this file somewhere for inspection).

Is this on server or desktop (I assume it is on 12.04)
32 or 64 bit?

Not sure if what I am seeing is the same thing. Adding new devices to my network yields a DHCP lease, but it does not display in the dashboard. I have to manually check the device, then add the info to static IP area to get it to show.

I added a VM today and it was assigned DHCP lease 123, but the Dashboard displaying nothing. So I then added a static IP for that device and refreshed the device to get the new static IP. There seems to be something amiss with DHCP leases showing in the dashboard.

I have the latest install of Ubuntu I believe, so not sure where to begin looking.

Now that the DHCP leases show, then never seem to go away. I have 4 leases that certainly have expired by now, but still showing. The are listed as inactive as well.

Is the dhcp lease time not working or is there another reason these are still showing in the dashboard.

It seems this may not be a bug. According to research, the leases file is periodically regenerated ([[http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/intrepid/man5/dhcpd.leases.5.html]]). Not sure how often this occurs as periodic is not defined.

the dhcp server has a large lag some times. did you wait long (sounds like you did not). a reboot might help.

could you try that?

1. Set static IP in control panel
2. Rebooted HDA
3. Set PBX to use DHCP
4. Rebooted PBX
5. Saw that PBX still gets 172.16.6.112 and it shows up in the DHCP list as pbx.mccloud.local with this IP.

This appears to not be fixed for displaying current DHCP leases. The dashboard reflects past inactive leases, but does not display new leases. However, the file in /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases file contains new leases.

More research is needed. We may need to code to parse this file and reset periodically in order to capture latest info.

Putting it in feedback. If it works, please close. If not please set it to assigned to me.

Updated my HDA and put a new static IP in for my PBX. Then logged into the PBX and told it to use DHCP instead of a static IP. It got an IP of 172.16.6.112 instead of 172.16.6.8 like I gave it for a static IP.

What is your DHCP address range. Is .8 in it or does it e.g. start at 100.

This is something I cannot too easily test at the moment
dhcp also does not know about your static address (although your dhcp client may first try to get a preferred address, like the one from last time.
