Test setup with Virtual Box

To set up a test environment for DHCP server you need:

• Linux host machine
• Virtual Box
• Virtual machine (guest OS doesn't matter)

Configure client

1. Install Virtual Box and run the following command to create a Host-Only network:

    $ VBoxManage hostonlyif create
   

   You can check its status by ip a command.

   You can also set up Host-Only network using Virtual Box menu:

    File -> Host Network Manager...
   

2. Create your virtual machine and set up its network:

    VM Settings -> Network -> Host-only Adapter
   

3. Start your VM, install an OS. Configure your network interface to use DHCP and the OS should ask for a IP address from our DHCP server.

4. To see the current IP address on client OS you can use ip a command on Linux or ipconfig on Windows.

5. To force the client OS to request an IP from DHCP server again, you can use dhclient on Linux or ipconfig /release on Windows.

Configure server

1. Edit server configuration file 'AdGuardHome.yaml', for example:

    dhcp:
      enabled: true
      interface_name: vboxnet0
      dhcpv4:
        gateway_ip: 192.168.56.1
        subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0
        range_start: 192.168.56.2
        range_end: 192.168.56.2
        lease_duration: 86400
        icmp_timeout_msec: 1000
        options: []
      dhcpv6:
        range_start: 2001::1
        lease_duration: 86400
        ra_slaac_only: false
        ra_allow_slaac: false
   

2. Start the server

    ./AdGuardHome
   

   There should be a message in log which shows that DHCP server is ready:

    [info] DHCP: listening on 0.0.0.0:67

Functions

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4(ifaceName string) (bool, error)

CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV4 sends a DHCP request to the specified network interface, and waits for a response for a period defined by defaultDiscoverTime

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6

func CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6(ifaceName string) (bool, error)

CheckIfOtherDHCPServersPresentV6 sends a DHCP request to the specified network interface, and waits for a response for a period defined by defaultDiscoverTime

Types

type DHCPServer

type DHCPServer interface {
	// ResetLeases - reset leases
	ResetLeases(leases []*Lease)
	// GetLeases - get leases
	GetLeases(flags int) []Lease
	// GetLeasesRef - get reference to leases array
	GetLeasesRef() []*Lease
	// AddStaticLease - add a static lease
	AddStaticLease(lease Lease) error
	// RemoveStaticLease - remove a static lease
	RemoveStaticLease(l Lease) error
	// FindMACbyIP - find a MAC address by IP address in the currently active DHCP leases
	FindMACbyIP(ip net.IP) net.HardwareAddr

	// WriteDiskConfig4 - copy disk configuration
	WriteDiskConfig4(c *V4ServerConf)
	// WriteDiskConfig6 - copy disk configuration
	WriteDiskConfig6(c *V6ServerConf)

	// Start - start server
	Start() error

	Stop()
}

DHCPServer - DHCP server interface

type Lease

type Lease struct {
	HWAddr   net.HardwareAddr `json:"mac"`
	IP       net.IP           `json:"ip"`
	Hostname string           `json:"hostname"`

	// Lease expiration time
	// 1: static lease
	Expiry time.Time `json:"expires"`
}

Lease contains the necessary information about a DHCP lease

func (*Lease) MarshalJSON

func (l *Lease) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)

MarshalJSON implements the json.Marshaler interface for *Lease.

func (*Lease) UnmarshalJSON

func (l *Lease) UnmarshalJSON(data []byte) (err error)

UnmarshalJSON implements the json.Unmarshaler interface for *Lease.

type OnLeaseChangedT

type OnLeaseChangedT func(flags int)

OnLeaseChangedT is a callback for lease changes.

type Server

type Server struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Server - the current state of the DHCP server

func Create

func Create(config ServerConfig) *Server

Create - create object

func (*Server) AddStaticLease

func (s *Server) AddStaticLease(lease Lease) error

AddStaticLease - add static v4 lease

func (*Server) FindMACbyIP

func (s *Server) FindMACbyIP(ip net.IP) net.HardwareAddr

FindMACbyIP - find a MAC address by IP address in the currently active DHCP leases

func (*Server) Leases

func (s *Server) Leases(flags int) []Lease

Leases returns the list of current DHCP leases (thread-safe)

func (*Server) SetOnLeaseChanged

func (s *Server) SetOnLeaseChanged(onLeaseChanged OnLeaseChangedT)

SetOnLeaseChanged - set callback
