Description Stuart Auchterlonie 2015-09-30 23:03:12 UTC
Description of problem:

Customer has a network setup as follows

<build_network> -- <dhcp_relay> -- <capsule>

The build network is in one subnet, and
the network infrastructure relays the dhcp
request to the capsule on another subnet.

The capsule has no interface in the subnet
used via the build network.

Capsule ip 10.140.13.67/24, interface eth0
Build network - 10.142.233.0/25

When you specify the ip ranges that are used
by the build network to capsule installer
it generates an invalid dhcp.conf file,
by defining the subnet based upon the interface
being given, and the pool range from the dhcp range
being provided

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Sat 6.1.2

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run capsule installer with the following options in addition to 
   those usually required to install a capsule
   --dhcp                 "true"
   --dhcp-interface       "eth0"
   --dhcp-range "10.142.233.5 10.142.233.120"
   --dhcp-gateway "10.142.233.126"
2.
3.

Actual results:

Generate dhcp.conf is contains the following invalid stanza

~~~
subnet 10.140.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  pool
  {
    range 10.142.233.5 10.142.233.120;
  }

  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  option routers 10.142.233.126;
}
~~~

As the pool range is outside of the subnet range
dhcpd throws an error

Expected results:

The pool range should be correctly defined within
the appropriate subnet stanza.

Comment 11 Stephen Benjamin 2018-06-05 13:47:21 UTC
It was recently fixed by someone in the community:

   https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-foreman_proxy/pull/422


Once this change makes a Satellite release, you would be able to do this by adding the additional options for network and netmask. For the example in comment #0, this installer command should create a valid DHCP configuration:


satellite-installer --foreman-proxy-dhcp="true" --foreman-proxy-dhcp-interface="eth0" --foreman-proxy-dhcp-range ="10.142.233.5 10.142.233.120" --foreman-proxy-dhcp-gateway="10.142.233.126" --foreman-proxy-dhcp-network="10.142.233.0" --foreman-proxy-dhcp-netmask="255.255.255.128"

Comment 12 Satellite Program 2018-06-05 14:15:01 UTC
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/16949 has been resolved.

Thanks, Stephen, for providing this.

Cheers,
Michael

Comment 17 Peter Ondrejka 2019-03-27 15:53:43 UTC
Verified on Satellite 6.5 snap 21, satellite-installer configures dhcp correctly in capsule scenario using --forema-proxy-dhcp* options
