<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi all,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Not sure if this has been questioned before, but had an issue earlier today where I had to restart a server and although the server had been running for a long
time with a static IPv4 address, it seems it discovered a rogue DHCP server and decided it would use the IP address from DHCP instead. When trying to change the IP address it was a little weird as the settings would not stick as it kept reverting to the DHCP
server assigned IP address.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Let me provide the steps I did and what was observed (as best as I can recall).<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Server was not responding, did a ping to the server name and it resulted in a 10.x.x.x IP address (non routable, so not good for a production server that is supposed to be internet facing)<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Ran the ./networksettings script, I noticed the 10.x.x.x IP address when I said to set the IPv4 settings, along with all the other details as per the DHCP server<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In desperation I created a second ethernet device (it is a VM) and tried to set it using the ./net… script to no avail – this is probably not important but added just in case.<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">When attempting to set the IP address via the ./network… script the subnet kept being a little weird, like making it 255.0.0.0, again this may not be important as it could have been part of the hangover from the DHCP and I am not sure exactly
which order I tested this<u></u><u></u></span></li><li class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Once the DHCP server was disabled I was eventually able to set the IP address correctly and have it remain.<u></u><u></u></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I suppose the question is does Blueonyx have DHCP enabled even when you set the IP address via the network setting script? It would appear so and is this by design?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The server is running 5210R<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Regards<u></u><u></u></span></p>
