denyinterfaces seems to be ignored by v7 on dhcpcd - for me it's popped up in both beta1 and rc1. The device in question is using netifrc and has only 1 interface (of 3) that runs dhcpcd. I'm unsure if this is Gentoo specific, if something changed in the new version that requires additional config changes, or it's an upstream problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "denyinterfaces ..." in dhcpcd.conf 2. Start dhcpcd (via net script, daemon, or direct) Actual Results: Watch it apply for a lease and assign an address to the denied interface. Expected Results: Leave the denied interface alone.
This surely isn't the case for me. Can you post your /etc/dhcpcd.conf please? And maybe `ps ax | grep dhcpcd` to check that a different dhcpcd.conf isn't being used.
Condensed dhcpcd.conf: duid persistent option rapid_commit option classless_static_routes noipv4ll denyinterfaces br0 allowinterfaces eth0 noipv6rs interface eth0 ipv6ra_own_default ipv6rs # enable routing solicitation iaid 1 ia_pd 1/::/64 br0/0/64 # request a PD and assign it to br0 require dhcp_server_identifier nohook lookup-hostname nohook resolv.conf waitip 4 6 There is no -f option supplied to dhcpcd.
I would write the config like this. You want all global bits above the first interface (or profile/ssid) directive. denyinterfaces br0 allowinterfaces eth0 duid persistent option rapid_commit option classless_static_routes require dhcp_server_identifier noipv4ll noipv6rs waitip 4 6 nohook lookup-hostname nohook resolv.conf interface eth0 ipv6ra_own_default ipv6rs # enable routing solicitation iaid 1 ia_pd 1/::/64 br0/0/64 # request a PD and assign it to br0
I'll try this change. If the ordering of options is significant to the behavior then I think its very important for it to be documented in the man page. (I did not find it in my searches.) I believe this happened when the dhcpcd was run as "dhcpcd -m 3 eth0" which I would expect to only operate on the specified interface per the man page. Is it possible a poor ordering in the config file can cause a problem even when explicitly specifying an interface?
This text is present in dhcpcd.conf(8) interface interface Subsequent options are only parsed for this interface. Won't fix your problem though, that's a real bug! Patch here for review, please test: https://dev.marples.name/D120
Also, ipv6ra_own_default is no longer a valid option (it's on all the time now, disable ipv6rs to stop it). Don't set a default iaid of 1 AND 1 for the ia_pd. Just remove the iaid 1 line. waitip should not have space between protocols (this may need to be documented better).
