[Dnsmasq-discuss] Restrict DHCP providing default gateway to *one* host on one network

[Will Dennis (Live.com)]

I did also just do a tcpdump and captured the DHCP packets when the WANem
machine comes up - see http://pastebin.com/KS2feuDQ for the tcpdump output.

On line 61 on the pastebin, I see that dnsmasq is still sending a default
gateway in the DHCP offer...

Thanks,
Will

Thanks, Simon, for your help -- I am running v2.59 on the hypervisor host
(dnsmasq package provided by Ubuntu 12.04.)

I did implement the
"dhcp-option=tag:vl20-ovsbr0,tag:!wanem-20,3,192.168.20.254" stanza as you
provided in place of the former "dhcp-option=vl20-ovsbr0,3,192.168.20.254"
that was there before (also deleted the " dhcp-option=net:wanem-20,3" stanza
as well) but the WANem VM is still getting a default gateway on the NIC
connected to vl20-ovsbr0 (net-20 interface.) Is the tagging syntax correct
in the stanza "dhcp-mac=set:wanem-20,52:54:00:45:8c:6a"? (I have confirmed
that the MAC is correct.)

Thanks,
Will

You're right , the change is simple. You just have to make the second
dhcp-option line NOT apply to you wanem-20 host, so

dhcp-option=vl20-ovsbr0,3,192.168.20.254

becomes

dhcp-option=tag:vl20-ovsbr0,tag:!wanem-20,3,192.168.20.254

The above uses the newer tag syntax, and assumes your copy of dnsmasq is not
ancient. If it's earlier than 2.53, then you need

dhcp-option=vl20-ovsbr0,#wanem-20,3,192.168.20.254


Cheers,

Simon.
