  • 1.  [SRX240 DHCP Server] Error: the dhcp subsystem is not running

    Posted 06-26-2012 08:25

    Hi,

     

    Does somebody already encountered the error in the subject despite all the configuration is done like it is on other SRX? The fact is that I don't find any way to solve this issue.

     

    adm@FW# run show configuration system services dhcp
    maximum-lease-time 86400;
    default-lease-time 86400;
    domain-name net.grp;
    router {
        172.18.100.254;
    }
    pool 172.18.100.0/24 {
        address-range low 172.18.100.50 high 172.18.100.200;
        default-lease-time 1440;
        name-server {
            208.67.222.222;
            208.67.220.220;
        }
        router {
            172.18.100.254;
        }
        propagate-settings ge-0/0/4.0;
    }

    Weird,

     

    Try

     

    user@srx>restart dhcp gracefully

    Thanks MMcD for your advise.

     

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work better.

     

    Here are the result:

    adm@FW> restart dhcp gracefully
    error: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol process is not running
    Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol process started, pid 30926

    adm@FW> show system services dhcp global
    error: the dhcp subsystem is not running

    adm@FW> restart dhcp-service gracefully
    warning: dhcp-service subsystem not running - not needed by configuration.

    You may need to reboot the device if restart dhcp-service is not working.  :-s

    Thanks again!

     

    Already rebooted when upgraded to JUNOS Software Release 11.4R2.16 last week. But it haven't resolved though.

     

    Any other idea?

    1 - Do you have interfaces in the 172.18.100.0/24 subnet?

    2 - Have you enabled DHCP in the security zone configuration?

    propagate-settings ge-0/0/4.0; <-- Remove This says ge-0/0/4.0 is a dhcp client and you want to pass the setting that it gets in where you have not defined the setting. 
    }

     

    Also do you have DHCPv6 enabled? I've had issues with the jdhcpd deamon preventing the dhcpd deamon from starting.
