Routing table via DHCP on Fedora - main

27 Aug 2008


      Dear All,
The dhcp-options manpage says
`NOTE to Fedora dhclient users:
           dhclient-script  interprets trailing 0 octets of the target
           as indi-
           cating the subnet class of the route, so for the  following
           static-
           routes value:
                   option static-routes 172.0.0.0 172.16.2.254,
                                        192.168.0.0 192.168.2.254;
           dhclient-script will create routes:
                   172/8 via 172.16.2.254 dev $interface
                   192.168/16 via 192.168.2.254 dev $interface'
If I suspect that I'm getting a messed up routing table (i.e. not what
the DHCP server administrator intended) as a result of this, what
should I do to diagnose and/or fix it?
