Fallback IP & dhclient.conf?
Posted: 2007/06/01 14:38:19
Hi all, trying to setup a NAS box that'll fallback to a certain ip if DHCP fails or is non-existant on the network. According to 'man dhclient.conf' "The configuration file can also be preinitialized with addresses to use on networks that dont have DHCP servers.". Unfortunately, I can't seem to find dhclient.conf.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: More [url=http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=212]info[/url]. Too bad it doesn't seem to apply to 4.4, I'll keep looking.
Edit2: Hmm, seems that a single 'alias' entry in an otherwise blank /etc/dhclient.conf might do the trick, I'll use some non-standard scope, maybe 192.168.222.22 or something. I'll try it and post results. Any input appreciated.
