Simon Zolin c5ed6da5bd - /control/dhcp/find_active_dhcp: fix DHCP server detection Before this patch we couldn't receive incoming DHCP packets. Now we bind() to 0.0.0.0 and set the required network interface using SO_BINDTODEVICE option. As an improvement, we now wait until a reply to our request is received and skip all unknown packets.		2019-04-23 12:26:14 +03:00

Test setup with Virtual Box

Test setup with Virtual Box

To set up a test environment for DHCP server you need:

Linux host machine
Virtual Box
Virtual machine (guest OS doesn't matter)

Configure client

Install Virtual Box and run the following command to create a Host-Only network:
```
 $ VBoxManage hostonlyif create
```
You can check its status by ip a command.

You can also set up Host-Only network using Virtual Box menu:
```
 File -> Host Network Manager...
```
Create your virtual machine and set up its network:
```
 VM Settings -> Network -> Host-only Adapter
```
Start your VM, install an OS. Configure your network interface to use DHCP and the OS should ask for a IP address from our DHCP server.

Configure server

Edit server configuration file 'AdGuardHome.yaml', for example:

 dhcp:
   enabled: true
   interface_name: vboxnet0
   gateway_ip: 192.168.56.1
   subnet_mask: 255.255.255.0
   range_start: 192.168.56.2
   range_end: 192.168.56.2
   lease_duration: 86400
   icmp_timeout_msec: 1000

Start the server
```
 ./AdGuardHome
```
There should be a message in log which shows that DHCP server is ready:
```
 [info] DHCP: listening on 0.0.0.0:67
```
