Freepbs server has both Static and DHCP assigned addresses

[daveymg]

My freepbx server has a static ip assigned (displayed in System Admin / Network Settings) but I discovered today while checking my DHCP server leases that it also has a dhcp assigned address. The lease is being renewed.

The Firewall / Interfaces page displays an entry for “eth0” with the static address along with an entry “dynamic” that displays the dynamic address.

In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts there is an ifcfg-eth0 file with the static address config info with a comment “# Freepbx System Generated network configuration” and also an ifcfg-dynamic file with comments “#Generic Firewall Configuration Generated by Freepbx Firewall” there are no interface config lines other than “ZONE=external” and “DESCRIPTION=“unset””

ifconfig -a shows etho with only the static address and the lo: interface

Freepbx seems to be operating normally but I’d like to know why the DHCP address is there and how to remove it?

Thanks,

And from bash,

ip addr

returns ?

Didn’t think to try that one. There is a dhclient process running on the server.

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000

There is nothing technically wrong with that but probably not what you want

ip route

will show your egress

I’d like to know how to stop the server requesting a dhcp address.

Generally by giving it a static one on boot and not starting up any “network managers” or dhcpclient
