[atlas]IPv4 DHCP and varying addresses
Having a simple question regarding DHCP and varying addresses within a subnet... While I *do* have access to the config of the DHCP server that delivers addresses to 414, and thus the probe will always get that same IP address, I *do not* have access to configure the DHCP service in my ADSL CPE (yet), which means that the individual address given to the probe may change over time. I guess this is expected and being taken care of by the system, but wanted to double-check. Thanks, Wilfried.
Hi Wilfried, The dhcp client is udhcpc. I think it does the right thing with lease expiry and a new lease. The measurements will work fine. However, there may be an issue in reporting probe's IPv4 address. The probe IP address you see in the control panel may be the previous one. Once it reboot it will report the new one. I am not too sure I have to check. I will keep an eye for changes to probe ip address. regards, -antony On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 09:26:26AM +0000, Wilfried Woeber, UniVie/ACOnet wrote:
