On my Ubuntu 20 desktop machine, I am using Wifi for internet and hence my LAN interface is free. So I want to use it as a DHCP server interface.

Currently I have a small ssh network problem. I use an Ubuntu 20.4 Server Edition incl. autoinstall.

I am aware that when we type a domain name, unless it is cached in the pc or router, it requests the DNS to an external server, to get the IP address.

Apparently, the DHCP server from the router is setting itself for DNS (192.168.1.254). Issuing systemd-resolv --status or resolverctl status gives

Is there a way to configure the DHCP server to assign an IP to a client without the client being statically defined.

My main goal is to create an IP pool that will keep the IPs reserved for 30 days as an example. If there are no requests from the client within these 30 days, the IP will be released again. Otherwise, the one and the same IP should always be assigned beyond these 30 days.

I am running Ubuntu 20.04. Some time back I removed the snap package manager from it. Network Manager is not running on my system as reported by 'service --status-all' and 'service network-manager status'.

Also systemd-networkd service status is loaded but inactive.

The physical interface enp1s0 has no IP address although it is connected to a router with an active DHCP server.

We are using MAAS 3.1 and are working a lab where there is already a DHCP server provisioned to allocate IP.

I've configured netplan to set static IP for a server on my local network. However, after sudo netstat apply server just becomes unreachable. When I check the router, I can see it listed with assigned static IP (after waiting for a long time), but it's still unreachable. Does it have something to do with modems default settings that were provided by ISP? Here is my netstat config:

At home I run a Raspberry Pi with PiHole. Every device obtain its IP via DHCP and some devices have a reserved address. The router is configured to offer my Raspberry Pi as primary DNS, for every device this works well, except for my laptop with Ubuntu.

Quite often (like every day) my DNS is changed to my second DNS option. I can revert this change with resolvectl dns <interface> <ip>

First, I'm aware that similar questions to mine have been asked elsewhere (I've read many of those posts!) but I've not been able to figure out a solution to my problem, so I'm asking for help.

My setup

I have two networks on my LAN, 192.168.0.0/24 and 10.11.12.0/24. The former has DHCP running on my WAN router, the latter runs dnsmasq on Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a box that also serves as a router b ...

I've just recently set up my Ubuntu Server 20.04 and now I'm trying to install a DHCP server.

But it always fails because I get

Is there any way I can set up my network without internet access? Are there any alternatives?

Thanks in advance

I want to use multiple subnet with multi interfaces.

I was looking at the IPv6 config of my Ethernet connection in NetworkManager's connection editor. It seems there are 3 automatic modes alongside other options:

• Automatic
• Automatic, addresses only
• Automatic, DHCP only

Can anyone help me with the differences between these options?

P.S. There are 2 following options in IPv4 settings and their difference is obvious to me.

So, I have a project on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (64bits) VPS that don't work with the normal IP (like 5.123.246.77), it only work with a network mask. The problem is that I can't manage to mask it correctly, because I always get these errors:

A few times a day, I lose WiFi connectivity. When I have connectivity, the IP address of my wifi adaper is 192.168.0.93. When I don't have connectivity, the address is 172.20.20.20. syslog shows Network Manager dhcp4 setting this address.

I tried enabling manual adapter settings but my browser doesn't work, probably because I don't have a DNS server address entered.

Good morning, I'm going to implement a DHCP server that needs to accomplish following configuration:

I have a server that will either connect to one of two wireless SSIDs. On the first, I need a static IP and on the second, I need a DHCP IP. I know that I can set both a static IP and DHCP to true on the same interface and it works, but the default route always ends up being for the static IP so outbound connections always fail when connected to the DHCP network.
