Hi All, |

I have connected to a Netvanta router (seems to me like Cisco clone in terms |
4 |
of ruleset and OS) but it will not read my MAC address. As a result I cannot |
5 |
set static IP addresses for my Gentoo boxen on this LAN. The router offers |
6 |
the next available IP address, instead of the one that I have reserved (on |
7 |
the router). The MS Windows machines seem to work fine. |

In trying to figure out what's happening I noticed that the Linux machines are |
10 |
registered on the router not with their MAC address (which is broadcast by |
11 |
dhcpcd as DHCPCHADDR) but with their CLIENTID, which is a much larger number: |
12 |
=========================================== |
13 |
# dhcpcd eth0 -T |
14 |
IPADDR='10.10.10.30' |
15 |
NETMASK='255.255.255.0' |
16 |
BROADCAST='10.10.10.255' |
17 |
ROUTES='' |
18 |
GATEWAYS='10.10.10.1' |
19 |
DNSSERVERS='10.10.10.1' |
20 |
NTPSERVERS='10.10.10.1' |
21 |
DHCPSID='10.10.10.1' |
22 |
LEASETIME='86400' |
23 |
RENEWALTIME='0' |
24 |
REBINDTIME='0' |
25 |
INTERFACE='eth0' |
26 |
CLASSID='dhcpcd 3.1.5' |
27 |
CLIENTID='ff:42:53:72:03:06:01:00:01:0e:95:9f:d7:01:c2:b8:d1:f1:1f' |
28 |
DHCPCHADDR='01:c2:b8:d1:f1:1f' |
29 |
=========================================== |
30 |
|
31 |
The router compares the CLIENTID with the MAC address I have entered manually |
32 |
and it does not recognise the box as the one intended. I tried to specify a |
33 |
MAC address in /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 but it makes no difference. Any idea why |
34 |
MS Windows machines work fine and Linux do not? |
35 |
|
36 |
What can I change to get this going? |
