Конфигурация DNS и DHCP

Конфигурация сервиса dnsmasq расположена в /etc/config/dhcp и содержит настройки серверов DNS и DHCP. В конфигурации по умолчанию содержится одна общая секция common section для определения опций DNS и связанных с ними опций демона, и одну или несколько секций DHCP pools для конфигурирования DHCP обслуживания сетевых интерфейсов.

Возможные для использования типы секций в конфигурационном файле dhcp определены далее. Не все типы могут быть использованы в файле и большинство из них требуются только для специальных случаев конфигурирования. Общие секции это Common Options, DHCP Pools и Static Leases.

Тип конфигурационной секции dnsmasq определяет значения и опции относящиеся ко всем действиям dnsmasq, а также общие для всех обслуживаемых интерфейсов опции DHCP. В следующем списке перечислены все доступные опции, их значения по умолчанию, а также соответствующие опции командной строки dnsmasq. См. the dnsmasq man page для дополнительных подробностей.

Это настройки по умолчанию для общих опций:

config 'dnsmasq'
	option domainneeded	 1
	option boguspriv	 1
	option filterwin2k	 0
	option localise_queries	 1
	option rebind_protection 1
	option rebind_localhost  0
	option local        	 '/lan/'
	option domain	         'lan'
	option expandhosts	 1
	option nonegcache	 0
	option authoritative	 1
	option readethers        1
	option leasefile	 '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
	option resolvfile	 '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'
  • Options local and domain enable dnsmasq to serve entries in /etc/hosts as well as the DHCP client's names as if they were entered into the lan DNS domain.
  • Options domainneeded, boguspriv, localise_queries, and expandhosts make sure that requests for these local host names (and the reverse lookup) never get forwarded to the upstream DNS servers.
  • Option authoritative makes the router the only DHCP server on this network; clients get their IP lease a lot faster this way.
  • Option leasefile stores the leases in a file, so that they can be picked up again if dnsmasq is restarted.
  • Option resolvfile tells dnsmasq to use this file to find upstream name servers; it gets created by the WAN DHCP client or the PPP client.
  • Options “enable_tftp” and “tftp_root” turn on the TFTP server and serve files from tftp_root. You may need to set the server's IP on the client. On the client, change it by setting “serverip” (e.g. “setenv serverip 192.168.1.10”).
Name Type Default Option Description
add_local_domain boolean 1 Add the local domain as search directive in resolv.conf.
add_local_hostname boolean 1 Add A and PTR records automatically for the local hostname.
addnhosts list of file paths (none) -H Additional host files to read for serving DNS responses
authoritative boolean 0 -K Force dnsmasq into authoritative mode. This speeds up DHCP leasing. Used if this is the only server on the network

boguspriv boolean 0 -b Reject reverse lookups to private IP ranges where no corresponding entry exists in /etc/hosts
cachelocal boolean 1 When set to 0, use each network interface's dns address in the local /etc/resolv.conf. Normally, only the loopback address is used, and all queries go through dnsmasq.
cachesize integer 150 -c Size of dnsmasq query cache.
dbus boolean 0 -1 Enable DBus messaging for dnsmasq.
:!: Standard builds of dnsmasq on OpenWRT do not include DBus support.

rebind_domain list of domain names (none) --rebind-domain-ok List of domains to allow RFC1918 responses for, only takes effect if rebind protection is enabled

Sections of the type dhcp specify per interface lease pools and settings for serving DHCP requests. Typically there is at least one section of this type present in the /etc/config/dhcp file to cover the lan interface.

You can disable a lease pool for a specific interface by specifying the ignore option in the corresponding section.

A minimal example of a dhcp section is listed below:

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
	option 'interface'   'lan'
	option 'start'       '100'
	option 'limit'	     '150'
	option 'leasetime'   '12h'
  • lan specifies the OpenWrt interface that is served by this DHCP pool
  • 100 is the offset from the network address, in the default configuration 192.168.1.100
  • 150 is the maximum number of addresses that may be leased, in the default configuration 192.168.1.250
  • 12h specifies the time to live for handed out leases, twelve hours in this example

Below is a listing of legal options for dhcp sections.

Name Type Required Default Description
dhcp_option list of strings no (none) The ID dhcp_option here must be with written with an underscore. OpenWrt will translate this to --dhcp-option, with a hyphen, as ultimately used by dnsmasq. Multiple option values can be given for this network-id, with a a space between them and the total string between “”. E.g. '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' that can assign an MTU per DHCP. Your client must accept MTU by DHCP for this to work. Or “3,192.168.1.1 6,192.168.1.1” to give out gateway and dns server addresses.
dynamicdhcp boolean no 1 Dynamically allocate client addresses, if set to 0 only clients present in the ethers files are served
force boolean no 0 Forces DHCP serving on the specified interface even if another DHCP server is detected on the same network segment
ignore boolean no 0 Specifies whether dnsmasq should ignore this pool if set to 1
interface logical interface name yes (none) Specifies the interface associated with this DHCP address pool; must be one of the interfaces defined in /etc/config/network.
leasetime string yes 12h Specifies the lease time of addresses handed out to clients, for example 12h or 30m
limit integer yes 150 Specifies the maximum allowable address that may be leased to clients, calculated as network address + “start” + “limit”. :!: The maximum number of leased addresses is limit+1
networkid string no (value of interface) The dhcp functionality defined in the dhcp section is limited to the interface indicated here through its network-id. In case omitted the system tries to know the network-id via the 'interface' setting in this dhcp section, through consultation of /etc/config/network. Some IDs get assigned dynamically, are not provided by network, but still can be set here.
start integer yes 100 Specifies the offset from the network address of the underlying interface to calculate the minimum address that may be leased to clients. It may be greater than 255 to span subnets.

Notes:

  • Although called 'interface', this is the network name, i.e. lan, wan, wifi etc. (section names in /etc/config/network), NOT the interface name used internally, like eth0, eth1, wlan0 etc. (the 'ifname' IDs in /etc/config/network).
  • Although called 'networkid', this is the interface name used internally, i.e. eth0, eth1, wlan0 etc., not the network name (lan, wan, wifi etc.).

This departs from 'ifname' and 'network' as used in /etc/config/network and in /etc/config/wireless, so double check!

You can assign fixed IP addresses to hosts on your network, based on their MAC (hardware) address.

The configuration options in this section are used to construct a -G option for dnsmasq.

config host
        option ip       '192.168.1.2'
        option mac      '00:11:22:33:44:55'
        option name     'mypc'

This adds the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2 and the name “mypc” for a machine with the (Ethernet) hardware address 00:11:22:33:44:55

Name Type Required Default Description
ip string yes (none) 'ignore' or the IP address to be used for this host.
mac string no (none) The hardware address of this host.
name string no (none) Optional hostname to assign.

As well as adding host sections, you can also enable the dnsmasq section option readethers, and add entries to the /etc/ethers file.

You can specify an alternative default Gateway

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
        option 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'start' '100'
        option 'limit' '150'
        option 'leasetime' '12h'
        list 'dhcp_option' '3,192.168.1.2'

use the list 'dhcp_option' '3,192.168.1.2' to set the default gateway. A list of options can be found here here

Some hosts support booting over the network. DHCP/BOOTP is used to tell the host which file to boot and the server to load it from. Each client can only receive one set of filename and server address options. If different hosts should boot different files, or boot from different servers, you can use network-ids to map options to each client.

Usually, you need to set additional DHCP options (through dhcp_option) for further stages of the boot process. See the dnsmasq man page for details on the syntax of the O option.

The configuration options in this section are used to construct a -M option for dnsmasq.

config boot linux
        option filename         '/tftpboot/pxelinux.0'
        option serveraddress    '192.168.1.2'
        option servername       'fileserver'
        list   dhcp_option      'option:root-path,192.168.1.2:/data/netboot/root'

This tells the client to load pxelinux.0 from the server at 192.168.1.2, and mount root from /data/netboot/root on the same server.

Name Type Required Default Description
dhcp_option list of strings no (none) Additional options to be added for this network-id. :!: If you specify this, you also need to specify the network-id.
filename string yes (none) The filename the host should request from the boot server.
networkid string no (none) The network-id these boot options should apply to. Applies to all clients if left unspecified.
serveraddress string yes (none) The IP address of the boot server.
servername string yes (none) The hostname of the boot server.

DHCP can provide the client with numerous options, such as the domain name, NTP servers, network booting options, etc. While some settings are applicable to all hosts in a network segment, other are more specific and apply only to a group of hosts, or even only a single one. dnsmasq offers to group DHCP options and their values by a network-id, an alphanumeric identifier, and sending options only to hosts which have been tagged with that network-id.

In OpenWrt, you can tag hosts by the DHCP range they're in (section dhcp), or a number of options the client might send with their DHCP request. In each of these sections, you can use the dhcp_option list to add DHCP options to be sent to hosts with this network-id.

Each classifying section has two configuration options: the value of the DHCP option used to distinguish clients, and the network-id that these clients should be tagged with. Here's a template:

config classifier option classifier 'value' option networkid 'network-id' list dhcp_option 'DHCP-option'

The placeholder classifier can be one of these values:

Classifier Description
mac Hardware address of the client
vendorclass String sent by the client representing the vendor of the client. dnsmasq performs a substring match on the vendor class string using this value.
userclass String sent by the client representing the user of the client. dnsmasq performs a substring match on the user class string using this value.
circuitid Matches the circuit ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3046.
remoteid Matches the remote ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3046.
subscrid Matches the subscriber ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3993.

DHCP-option adds a DHCP option for this network-id. See the dnsmsq man page for a complete explanation of the syntax of the -O option.

It is possible to mix the traditional /etc/dnsmasq.conf configuration file with the options found in /etc/config/dhcp.

The dnsmasq.conf file does not exist by default but will be processed by dnsmasq on startup if it is present. Note that options in /etc/config/dhcp take precendence over dnsmasq.conf since they are translated to command line arguments.

You can have dnsmasq execute a script on every action:

dhcp-script=/sbin/action.sh

DNS needs TCP and UDP port 53 open on the firewall. DHCP needs UDP ports 67 and 68 open from your zone to/from the firewall. See http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/guest-wlan and http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html (viz “--dhcp-alternate-port”) for more information.

Define a static lease for a host with MAC addresses 00:a0:24:5a:33:69 and 00:11:22:33:44:55 (handy when you use both wired and wireless connection on the same computer/laptop - of course, you can use just one MAC address) and assign the IP address 192.168.1.230 and the hostname example-host to it. We call this MAC address hot swap, since IP address stay same, but MAC address changes.

config 'host'
	option 'name' 'example-host'
	option 'ip'   '192.168.1.230'
	option 'mac'  '00:a0:24:5a:33:69 00:11:22:33:44:55'

Troubleshooting

:!: Windows 7 has introduced a new Microsoft-enhanced feature. It won't assign IP address obtained from a DHCP server to an interface, if the IP was used before for another interface, even if that other interface is NOT active currently (i.e. cable disconnected). This behaviour is unique and was not reported for older Windows versions, Mac OS nor Linux.

If you try configure MAC address hot swap on your router, Windows 7 clients will end up in an infinite DORA loop.

Solution:

  1. Create a bridge from the wireless and ethernet interfaces on your client
    • it's trivial: google it
    • you will have to add the MAC address of the bridge to /etc/config/dhcp
      • config 'host'
        	option 'name' 'example-host'
        	option 'ip'   '192.168.1.230'
        	option 'mac'  '00:a0:24:5a:33:69 00:11:22:33:44:55 02:a0:24:5a:33:69 02:11:22:33:44:55'
    • Since the bridge will probably take and alter your ethernet MAC address, you will lose SLAAC on wifi interface, making your laptop IPv6-disabled when only wireless is up.
  2. Another solution is IPv6 friendly, you don't need to create a bridge, nor add MAC address to dnsmasq config file, but it involves user interaction:
    • When you plug the ethernet cable in, disable wireless interface in control panel (power off wireless won't do it).
    • When you unplug ethernet cable, enable wireless and disable ethernet.

Notes:

Define a custom domain name and the corresponding PTR record - assigns the IP address 192.168.1.140 to the domain name typhoon and construct an appropriate reverse record 140.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.

:!: Note that this currently only works for IPv4 addresses and that this functionality is not present in release prior to 8.09.2 .

config 'domain'
	option 'name' 'typhoon'
	option 'ip'   '192.168.1.140'

To define an SRV record for SIP over UDP, with the default port of 5060 on the host pbx.mydomain.com, with a class of 0 and a weight of 10 one would use:

config 'srvhost'
	option srv  '_sip._udp.mydomain.com'
	option target 'pbx.mydomain.com'
	option port 5060
	option class 0
	option weight 10

To specify that the web server also doubles as the FTP server (at least in name), one might use:

config 'cname'
	option cname 'ftp'
	option target 'www'

If you're running the mail server for your domain behind a firewall (and therefore, with split-horizon for your own domain) then you might need to convince that mailer that it's actually authoritative for your domain.

If sendmail tells you “Domain of sender address xxx@yyy.zzz does not exist” this is because it isn't finding an MX record confirming that it's an MX relay for that domain.

Adding:

config 'mxhost'
	option domain 'yyy.zzz'
	option relay 'my.host.com'
	option pref 10

will mitigate the issues caused by split-horizon.

Direct BOOTP requests to the TFTP server at the IP address 192.168.1.2 and use /tftpboot/pxelinux.0 as boot file name.

config 'boot'
	option 'filename'      'pxelinux.0'
	option 'servername'    'data'
	option 'serveraddress' '192.168.1.2'

Multiple DHCP options can be configured under a single dhcp_option object. In this case, option 66 (tftp-server) and option 150 (multiple tftp servers) were used for a Cisco Callmanager deployment.

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
        option 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'start' '62'
        option 'limit' '192'
        option 'leasetime' '600h'
        list 'dhcp_option' '66,172.16.60.64'
        list 'dhcp_option' '150,172.16.60.64'

If you need multiple DNS forwarders with different configurations or DHCP server with different sets of lease files, have a look at this patch. Multiple dnsmasq “named” instances can be configured:

config 'dnsmasq' 'hotspot'
        option nonwildcard '1' # Tell dnsmasq to bind specific address(es)
        option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.hotspot'
        ...

Your configs are usally active for all instances, but you can limit them to single instances by:

config 'dhcp' 'lan'
        option 'interface' 'lan'
        option 'dnsmasq_config' 'hotspot'

config 'host'
        option 'name' 'chef'
        option 'mac' '00:00:00:00:00:00'
        option 'ip' '192.168.1.66'
        option 'dnsmasq_config' 'hotspot'

The web interface (luci) has not been updated for this patch yet.

In DHCP pool limit setting, the start and limit values do *not* refer to the “last digit”, they're relative offsets to the network address.

  • the network address of 10.0.0.1 / 255.0.0.0 is 10.0.0.0
  • the 10.22.0.1 start address is 22 x /16 subnets away: (2^16) * 22 = 1441792
  • 10.0.0.0 + 1441792 + 1 = 10.22.0.1 → start = 1441793
  • 10.22.0.254 - 10.22.0.1 = 253 → limit = 253
config dhcp lan
  option interface lan
  option start 1441793
  option limit 253

Test:

root@OpenWrt:~# ipcalc.sh 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 1441793 253
