Setting up a TL-WDR3600 from scratch with 1.13, and the DHCP server isn't handing out addresses. I'm basically copying the same setup from my old router on 1.10, but changing the subnet a bit.

Am I missing something basic? Here's my /etc/config/network and /etc/config/dhcp files:

Code: Select all

config interface 'loopback'
	option ifname 'lo'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
	option netmask '255.0.0.0'

	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option gateway '192.168.1.1'
	option ipv6 '0'
	option peerdns '0'

config device 'wan_eth0_2_dev'
	option name 'eth0.2'
	option macaddr 'f4:f2:6d:79:01:59'

config interface 'wan6'
	option ifname 'eth0.2'
	option proto 'none'

config switch
	option name 'switch0'
	option reset '1'
	option enable_vlan '1'

	option vlan '1'

Along with another 160 or so more static hosts...

I think you’ll need to check the dnsmasq logs to understand why.
Also why are all of your static leases insight your dynamic range?

Posted: **Tue May 17, 2022 7:12 am**

Dnsmasq logs are where? Didn’t see them in /etc/logs.

Run the "logread" command after saving dhcp settings or restarting dnsmasq

Super tip, that showed the problem. Below is a bit of output from logread:

Code: Select all

Thu Jan  6 20:24:29 2022 daemon.crit dnsmasq[2297]: bad DHCP host name at line 227 of /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf.cfg01411c
Thu Jan  6 20:24:29 2022 daemon.crit dnsmasq[2297]: FAILED to start up

And line 227 of /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf.cfg01411c shows a host with a non-ASCII character (which I copied directly over from my server running 1.10)

Code: Select all

226	dhcp-host=9C:3D:CF:E6:E5:D2,192.168.2.238,JonathanNew2
227	dhcp-host=90:56:FC:E6:EF:8A,192.168.2.239,Bourré

Removed the character and dnsmasq starts normally and I am getting DHCP assignments. Whew!

Perfect!
A few people have reported this lately. There must have been an upstream change to dnsmasq
