DHCP-server 23.05

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

I have been using setup with additional network for WLAN since version ~18.06.0 It worked on 22.03.5 also. But in current version 23.05.0 dhcp-server stops to work. It stops to work even for standard LAN. Setup is following: additional device, additional interface with additional IP in network, additional zone, additional forwarding, additional rules for dhcp, and dns queries. Additional section in dhcp, as copy-paste of default 'lan' section with changing names of section, and network. Wireless configuration corresponds to additional interface.

With zero error messages?

Yes, I got, I will try to check, but I do not understand, what to do, I have just copied section config dhcp 'lan', what action should I perform?

config dhcp 'lan'
        option interface 'lan'

Should I edit dnsmasq section?

logread -e dnsmasq will give some clues if dnsmasq doesn't like something in the configuration.

Please connect to your OpenWrt device using ssh and copy the output of the following commands and post it here using the "Preformatted text </> " button:

Thanks to all, my friends!

The problem was in upgrade process of netifd with default settings with disabled wireless. Error was like 'No such file or directory'. I have been performing upgrade in following sequence: 1. install fresh OpenWRT, 2. opkg update, opkg upgrade, 3. configure system. No I should initially enable wireless, after that perform upgrade.

Why? I have been doing it for years, I have rather simple setup.

OK, but I have been performing upgrade with default settings, and the corresponding question is, whether to ignore new packages?

13

you should "always" ignore new packages.

14

OK, and what is aim in developing them and putting into repository?

no idea, tbh, for snapshots they make sense, since they're updated on a daily basis.

perhaps the packages from snapshots are getting picked up too, I never checked, since I never update them.
