RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description xhu 2011-09-06 09:10:38 UTC
Description of problem:
The network xml with mutiple dhcp sections can be defined successfully although there is prompt error

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-0.9.4-7.el6.x86_64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.185.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-193.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
everytimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. prepare the following network xml with multiple dhcp sections:
# cat multi-dhcp.xml 
<network>
  <name>multi-dhcp</name>
  <forward mode='nat'/>
  <bridge name='virbr10' stp='on' delay='0' />
  <ip address='192.168.201.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.168.201.2' end='192.168.201.254' />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
  <ip address='192.168.202.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.168.202.2' end='192.168.202.254' />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
  <ip family='ipv6' address='2003:db8:ac10:fe01::1' prefix='64'>
  </ip>
</network>

2. define and start the multi-dhcp network
# virsh net-define multi-dhcp.xml
error: Failed to define network from multi-dhcp.xml
error: unsupported configuration: Multiple dhcp sections found. dhcp is supported only for a single IPv4 address on each network

# echo $?
1

# virsh net-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------    
multi-dhcp           inactive   no

# virsh net-start multi-dhcp
Network multi-dhcp started

Actual results:
The network xml with mutiple dhcp sections can succeed be defined and started although there is prompt error

Expected results:
The network xml with mutiple dhcp sections can not be defined and started successfully

Fixed with upstream commit:
commit 0763a26dfef240e301e19b9c563c10462e72f255
Author: Peter Krempa <pkrempa>
Date:   Wed Nov 30 15:26:25 2011 +0100

    bridge_driver: Don't define network if XML contains more IPv4 adreses.
    
    Only one IPv4 DHCP definition is supported. Originally the code checked
    for a multiple definition and returned an error, but the new domain
    definition was already added to networks. This patch moves the check
    before the newly defined network is added to active networks.
    
     *src/network/bridge_driver.c: networkDefine(): - move multiple IPv4
                                                      addresses check before
                                                      definition is used.


Tested with XML provided in report:

virsh # net-define network.xml 
error: Failed to define network from network.xml
error: unsupported configuration: Multiple dhcp sections found. dhcp is supported only for a single IPv4 address on each network

virsh # net-list --all
Name                 State      Autostart
-----------------------------------------
default              active     yes
