How to debug DHCP server settings
On Univention Corporate Server (UCS) the DHCP service stores its configuration in the LDAP database.
In case you want to verify your settings by reading the configuration you have to enable the debug file.
Step 1
Log in to the UCS system running the DHCP service.
Edit the file /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
and remove the #
before ldap-debug-file
Before edit:
# ldap-debug-file "/var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log";
After edit:
ldap-debug-file "/var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log";
Step 2
Restart the daemon.
systemctl restart univention-dhcp
Step 3
Read configuration from file /var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log
which should help to identify the issue.
Note:
For further troubleshooting you might use the tool dhcpdump.
