Description of problem: I use a "Orange Livebox Play" router who included a DHCP serve and I set this DHCP server to attribute a fixed IP address based on MAC address to my Fedora 23 box. This Fedora box is a dual-boot box Fedora 23 and Windows 8.1 When booting on Windows 8.1 Windows get the right fixed address from DHCP but when booting on Fedora 23 Fedora get a random IP address in DHCP range. I did tests with Fedora Lives. F16 Live get the right fixed address, F21 and F23 Lives get a random address. I noticed ifconfig return the MAC address in upper cases for F16 and in lower cases for F21 and F23 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcp-libs-4.3.3-8.P1.fc23.x86_64 dhcp-client-4.3.3-8.P1.fc23.x86_64 dhcp-common-4.3.3-8.P1.fc23.noarch How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. dhclient -v -r 2. dhclient -v 3. ifconfig Actual results: Random IP Expected results: Fixed IP based on MAC address Additional info:
Didier, I think it's some sort of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F21_bugs#IP_address_discovery_via_DHCP_does_not_work You can try # echo 'send dhcp-client-identifier = hardware;' >> /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
Hi Jiri, Bingo ! I created the file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf with the line: send dhcp-client-identifier = hardware; and it works. Thanks for your help.
Ok, I'll leave this open since the bug #1154200 has already been closed (even I'm not going to "fix" this - as explained in the common bugs page).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
