Hi List,
Since the latest update I do not get a default gateway via dhcp
in our companies network. Found out that dhclient-script
in dhclient-3.0.2-26.FC4 rejects to set our default route.
10.0.255.254
The add_default_gateway function is never called whenever there is a 255
within the ip
of the default route as reported by the DHCP server, which is the case
in our companies
network.
Is this a bug or is there a convention which forbits the *255* gateway
address ?
That is a bug. It needs to be reported via bugzilla so it will get
fixed. You have a valid IP address and it should be used. The check
they are making is invalid. If they are trying to prevent the broadcast
address from being used then they need to check the subnet mask and
generate the broadcast from that information, not make assumptions as
they are doing now.
