Description Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-07-10 08:13:55 CEST
It should be possible to see in UMC which leases have been requested and given. And it should be possible to create computer objects or DHCP entries of these objects.
Comment 1 Stefan Gohmann univentionstaff 2015-09-23 12:10:09 CEST
This feature has been dropped from the UCS 4.1 roadmap.

Comment 3 Stephan Luft univentionstaff 2015-10-12 13:19:50 CEST
This was requested from a partner for a customer interested in UCS
Comment 4 Jens Thorp-Hansen univentionstaff 2015-12-07 14:04:47 CET
Requested here (second question): http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=4640&p=17902

The Enterprise Customer affected flag is set but neither a Ticket number is referenced nor a Customer ID is set. Please set a Ticket number or a Customer ID. Otherwise the Enterprise Customer affected flag will be reset.
Comment 7 Christina Scheinig univentionstaff 2017-02-03 10:36:45 CET
It would be easier to debug such problems in a customer environment. This Ticket#2017020321000054 could be solved much easier/faster.
Comment 8 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2017-02-03 11:35:11 CET
isc-dhcp from 4.3 will ship ~phahn/src/extern/dhcp/contrib/dhcp-lease-list.pl to parse /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases

Maybe "omshell" can be used to query the lease DB (my quick search didn't find anything useful).

The dhcpd.leases file is supposed to be fully re-written each
  34 #define LEASE_REWRITE_PERIOD 3600
seconds = 1h
Comment 9 Stephan Luft univentionstaff 2017-03-23 16:23:01 CET
wurde auf der CeBIT auf dieses Feature angesprochen, geht um einen neuen Partner, der UCS aktuell für einen Kunden evaluiert
Comment 10 Philipp Hahn univentionstaff 2017-03-29 16:21:48 CEST
(In reply to Philipp Hahn from comment #8)
> isc-dhcp from 4.3 will ship

It's included with isc-dhcp-server_4.3.1-6+deb8u2A~4.2.0.201703161319, but broken due to Bug #44125 (includes patch)

Please note that static leases are not tracked in /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases.
There is a thing called "RESERVED LEASES" (man 5 dhcpd.conf): <https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/dhcp-users/2009-July/009875.html>

> Maybe "omshell" can be used to query the lease DB (my quick search didn't

Please note that this might be complicated further when multiple dhcp servers are used, as each one has a separate lease database.
Comment 11 Jens Thorp-Hansen univentionstaff 2017-07-03 13:07:19 CEST
requested again (see ticketlist)
Comment 12 Thomas Stather 2017-07-03 13:14:39 CEST
I also requested this for our environment as it would be really useful (Ticket #2017062721000341)

Customers still on UCS 4.1 are encouraged to update to UCS 4.3. Please contact
your partner or Univention for any questions.

If this issue still occurs in newer UCS versions, please use "Clone this bug" or simply reopen the issue. In this case please provide detailed information on how this issue is affecting you.

Comment 20 Christian Völker univentionstaff 2019-11-14 10:43:58 CET
Customer was not aware of /var/lib/dhcp and therefore needed an information how to get the list of current leases.

There should be an easier way to see this (UMC!).

Citing another user from the topic in comment #21:

"this is something I feature requested several times in the past, but I don’t know, why Univention doesn’t want to enhance DHCP settings. It’s really painful to administrate DHCP clients within the UMC. :cry:"
