I have setup dnsmasq as DHCP server on a CentOS VM, however it is not replying to DHCP requests. What could be the issue? Following is the configuration and tcpdump logs.
interface=ens224
listen-address=::1,127.0.0.1,172.17.11.1
dhcp-range=172.17.11.10,172.17.11.50,24h
dhcp-option=option:router,172.17.11.1
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.leases
Following is the DHCP request which I can see on the interface ens224 by tcpdump:
17:42:01.409959 IP 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps: BOOTP/DHCP, Request from 12:34:56:00:11:02, length 300
Following is the status of dnsmasq:
