isc-dhcp-server and openvswitch
If you are using ip interfaces on ovs fake bridges to provide a gateway to guest networks, you need some adjustments in the boot order. The dhcp-server is configured to listen on the interfaces of the fake brigdes. The problem is that dhcpd won't start up on boot, if not all interfaces are available and configured. So we need to configure the order to startup the services.
- openvswitch-switch
- networking
- isc-dhcp-server
openvswitch-switch
Is WantedBy = multi-user.target and we need to add network.target to make it start earlier. /lib/systemd/system/openvswitch-switch.service

The dependency between openvswitch-switch and networking is already defined by Before=networking.service.
isc-dhcp-server
Is legacy software that starts with an init-script on the SYSV-compatibility layer. Therefore we need to adjust the Init lsb headers and update SYSV boot dependencies in /etc/rc.*.d. In my case i attached networking to the line # Required-Start:
We need to add the instance openvswitch-switch to Required-Start: /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server

Dynamic DNS Updates
Generate shared secret
Please see bind9#dnssec-keygen - TSIG
A complex choice
Multi-homed servers with multiple interfaces, dynamic dns updates and lots of options.
Definitions
First some definitions from the manual page, that are important later on.
The ddns-hostname statement
ddns-hostname name;
- The name parameter should be the hostname that will be used in setting up the client's A and PTR records. If no ddns-hostname is specified in scope, then the server will derive the hostname automatically, using an algorithm that varies for each of the different update methods.
The ddns-domainname statement
ddns-domainname name;
- The name parameter should be the domain name that will be appended to the client's hostname to form a fully-qualified domain-name (FQDN).
The ddns-update-style parameter
ddns-update-style style;
- The style parameter must be one of standard, interim or none. The ddns-update-style statement is only meaningful in the outer scope - it is evaluated once after reading the dhcpd.conf file, rather than each time a client is assigned an IP address, so there is no way to use different DNS update styles for different clients. The default is none. For more info about the update styles themselfes please see
The use-host-decl-names statement
use-host-decl-names flag;
- If the use-host-decl-names parameter is true in a given scope, then for every host declaration within that scope, the name provided for the host declaration will be supplied to the client as its hostname.
- So, for example,
- is equivalent to
Additionally, enabling use-host-decl-names instructs the server to use the host declaration name in the the forward DNS name, if no other values are available. This value selection process is discussed in more detail under DNS updates.
An option host-name statement within a host declaration will override the use of the name in the host declaration.
- It should be noted here that most DHCP clients completely ignore the host-name option sent by the DHCP server, and there is no way to configure them not to do this. So you generally have a choice of either not having any hostname to client IP address mapping that the client will recognize, or doing DNS updates. It is beyond the scope of this document to describe how to make this determination.
The option host-name
option host-name string;
- This option specifies the name of the client. The name may or may not be qualified with the local domain name (it is preferable to use the domain-name option to specify the domain name). See RFC 1035 for character set restrictions. This option is only honored by dhclient-script(8) if the hostname for the client machine is not set.
The problem
When trying to implement this idea, while reducing statements using use-host-decl-names and groups to inherit ddns-domainname the identifiers of the statically defined hosts collide.
The solution
The only functional combination of settings is to use
- use-host-decl-names false;
- nested groups and their inheritance of ddns-domainname
- a free identifier in the host statement, that does never collide and is probably important for OMAPI
- the "option host-name" within the host declaration
1 use-host-decl-names false;
2 group sd1 {
3 ddns-domainname "sd1.domain.tld."
4 host hostname1.sd1 {
5 hardware ethernet 52:54:00:16:00:11;
6 option host-name "hostname1";
7 fixed-address 172.16.0.11;
8 }
9 }
10 group sd2 {
11 ddns-domainname "sd2.domain.tld."
12 host hostname1.sd2 {
13 hardware ethernet 52:54:00:17:00:11;
14 option host-name "hostname1";
15 fixed-address 172.17.0.11;
16 }
17 }
dhcpd -t also validates this kind of config. the "option host-name" does not collide as the identifiers do.

Some notes on dhcpd.conf
- Host-declarations should reside in the global scope (not in subnet).
- Groups can be nested and inherit from each other.
- For DDNS to work isc-dhcp-server needs information which zone a host is assigned to.
This can be achieved by using ddns-domainname (e.g. in a wrapping group). If dhcpd does not initiate a DNS update, its probably not been able to find out which zone a host should be assigned to.
The statically defined hostname and ddns-domainname concatenate to the FQDN. The hostname is sent to the client and is used as transient hostname, when /etc/hostname contains a invalid hostname like localhost.localdomain.
The statically defined hostname should not contain dots, as they are also send to the client, which takes this as a hostname.
- For statically defined hosts the client-specified
ddns-hostname = gethostname() is superseeded by the name that was declared in host-declaration, if use-host-decl-names is enabled.
fixed-address may also be a DNS resolvable FQDN.
- There is no super debug-level, the information contained in syslog is sufficient.
option domain-name is not needed any more
option domain-name text;
- This option specifies the domain name that client should use when resolving hostnames via the Domain Name System.
option domain-search domain-list;
- The domain-search option specifies a ´search list´ of Domain Names to be used by the client to locate not-fully-qualified domain names. The difference between this option and
historic use of the domain-name option for the same ends is that this option is encoded in RFC1035 compressed labels on the wire.
- For example:
option domain-search "example.com", "sales.example.com", "eng.example.com";
- The domain-search option specifies a ´search list´ of Domain Names to be used by the client to locate not-fully-qualified domain names. The difference between this option and

Configure bind9
There is a small tool that can help to generate a ddns configuration for bind9
1 host # ddns-confgen
2 # To activate this key, place the following in named.conf, and
3 # in a separate keyfile on the system or systems from which nsupdate
4 # will be run:
5 key "ddns-key" {
6 algorithm hmac-sha256;
7 secret "GEFaX01eF/DdUicA+WQviHFq+airvu5w59sg3AA2LJ0=";
8 };
9
10 # Then, in the "zone" statement for each zone you wish to dynamically
11 # update, place an "update-policy" statement granting update permission
12 # to this key. For example, the following statement grants this key
13 # permission to update any name within the zone:
14 update-policy {
15 grant ddns-key zonesub ANY;
16 };

18 # After the keyfile has been placed, the following command will
19 # execute nsupdate using this key:

Update Forwarding
ISC DHCP KB - How do DNS dynamic updates find the "right" server?
You may allow to forward dynamic updates to the master server. But make sure you are using a stronger authentication than IP addresses like TSIG.
{allow-update-forwarding
- When set in the zone statement for a secondary zone, this specifies which hosts are allowed to submit Dynamic DNS updates and have them be forwarded to the
primary. The default is { none; } , which means that no update forwarding is performed.
To enable update forwarding, specify allow-update-forwarding { any; }; in the zone statement. Specifying values other than { none; } or { any; } is usually counterproductive; the responsibility for update access control should rest with the primary server, not the secondary.
- Note that enabling the update forwarding feature on a secondary server may expose primary servers to attacks if they rely on insecure IP-address-based access control; see Dynamic Update Security for more details.
- In general this option should only be set at the zone level. While a default value can be set at the options or view level and inherited by zones, this can lead to some zones unintentionally forwarding updates.
Test
Attach to logs
1 tail -f /var/log/dhcpd.log /var/log/bind/update-debug.log
Restart services
You can raise the loglevel during the tests
Test it by releasing ip from interface and requesting a new dhcp-lease
And it works even with the long SHA2 signatures.

Object Management API (OMAPI)
omshell - OMAPI Command Shell
The OMAPI Command Shell, omshell, provides an interactive way to connect to, query, and possibly change, the ISC DHCP Server's state via OMAPI, the Object Management API. By using OMAPI and omshell, you do not have to stop, make changes, and then restart the DHCP server, but can make the changes while the server is running. Omshell provides a way of accessing OMAPI.
OMAPI is simply a communications mechanism that allows you to manipulate objects. In order to actually use omshell, you must understand what ob‐ jects are available and how to use them. Documentation for OMAPI objects can be found in the documentation for the server that provides them - for example, in the dhcpd(1) manual page and the dhclient(1) manual page.
Comment
The dhcp-client-identifier and hardware addresses are terrible data to identify a client. They are both supplied by the client over unauthenticated, shared, plaintext, unsigned communication and therefore subject to manipulation on the network (mitm) or were even spoofed on the source device itself.
