I have a straaaaaaange problem with a Solaris 10 host acting as a dhcp server. I can not get an ip adress allocated even though the configuration works in an almost exact setup for another Solaris 10 host.
The <host> in question has one piece of BOOTP booting <equipment> hooked up to bge0, with no other network nodes on that network. <equipment> should get an ip address from the host and then read boot files but I can not get the dhcp allocation to work.
The setup that is also used on the other system (called <host2> and <equipment2>, that works(!), is included below with a log from in.dhcpd when running in debug mode. This setup works on the other system, but for <host> <equipment> the dhcp server refuses to allocate the ip address, instead it logs:
BOOTP client: 0100005012608A is looking for a configuration on net 192.168.10.0
Anyone got any bright ideas what's wrong?
