Virtual IP address is not getting allocated from DHCP

Post by Mehul2802 » Tue Jan 03, 2017 12:51 pm

Hi,

I have done setup of soft-ether server on RHEL7.2.

When I am connecting soft-ether client from windows 8.1, it's getting connected and DHCP allocates virtual IP.

When I am connecting soft-ether client from other RHEL7 machine, DHCP is not able to get virtual IP.
It shows connected when executing accountinfo command,

Is there any configuration that i'm missing for DHCP server ?

Regards,
Mehul

Are you using SecureNAT or a bridge?
Which VPN protocol are you using to connect?

After enabling secure NAT, DHCP assigns IP to softether client. e.g. 192.168.30.10

But, I am not able to ping softether client IP from softether server on windows.

Firewall is disabled and I have enabled Local bridging.

What is the IP of the client? is it in the same subnet as the server?

No.

IP of Soft-ether Server: 192.168.6.169

IP address allocated to client by DHCP: 192.168.30.10 (When enabling Secure NAT and DHCP)

Assigning IP address is responsibility of client OS.

Please configure network setting for DHCP or run dhclient manually.

@thisjun

After running
$ dhclient tap_soft
command on server, it gets new IP address in the range which is defined in virtual DHCP configuration of soft-ether.

Thanks,
Mehul
