Symptoms
If the DHCP server configuration file /etc/dhcpd.conf is not created properly,
poscheckip.pl returns the following error code:
# poscheckip.pl
# echo $?
1
If the dhcpd.conf file is created properly, poscheckip.pl returns the correct
hostname, address, netmask and domain as follows:
# poscheckip.pl
bs
# echo $?
0
Hints
• Make sure that /etc/named.conf lists the right parent. Configure the DNS
servers as forwarders.
• Add the hostname to /etc/hosts.
• When using DHCP to configure the external (WAN) network interface of the Branch
Server, set the DHCP client on the Branch Server to modify named.conf instead
of resolv.conf in /etc/sysconfig/network/config. The variables
are MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY and
MODIFY_NAMED_CONF_DYNAMICALLY. The template file is prepared for this.
16.1.2 Problems with Terminals after Branch
When a Branch Server is changed or reinstalled, but some terminals are still registered
in the LDAP (e.g. there are some scWorkstation objects under a respective
scLocation), these terminals will not boot correctly. You have to re-create their
config.<MAC> files manually.
