Hi Guys,
The following message was reported to "/var/log/messages" on a server when
there's no ip address configured on an interface, like a slave of bonding.
"dnsmasq-dhcp[XXXX]: DHCP packet received on eth1 which has no address"
The dnsmasq command line:
nobody 21564 0.0 0.0 12796 604 ? S 15:37 0:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq
--strict-order --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/libvirt/network/default.pid
--conf-file= --except-interface lo --listen-address 192.168.122.1 --dhcp-range
192.168.122.2,192.168.122.254 --dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.leases
--dhcp-lease-max=253 --dhcp-no-override
I have verified that this message could be suppressed by appending
"--interface=virbr0" manually. But currently libvirt doesn't use the option
"--interface" in order to be compatible with old dnsmasq (< 2.47). Then how
to resolve this problem?
One idea is changing the behaviour of "--bind-interfaces" for dhcp. Currently,
even with "--bind-interfaces" and "--listen-address", dnsmasq listens
on all interfaces, not like dns which only listens on the specified address.
The other is just adding "--interface" and let people who're using IPv6
upgrade dnsmasq.
What's your opinions?
Thanks
