1.2.0-rc6 [[service dhcp-server]] failed

Hiya,

Just DL rc6 (into GNS3 and vmware), setup single interface which committed fine, configure a DHCP server using the following and got the error below. Is this a bug or is it just me?

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '10.1.1.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth0 description 'LAN'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.1.1.0/24 default-router '10.1.1.1'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.1.1.0/24 dns-server '10.1.1.1'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.1.1.0/24 domain-name 'internal-network'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.1.1.0/24 range LOCAL start 10.1.1.10
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.1.1.0/24 range LOCAL stop 10.1.1.20

Error:

This is not reproducible. Even when I delete the dhcp lease files in /config directory.

Sorry, figured it out. User error!

It seems GNS3 blows away the installed image after a power cycle (at least that’s what i found), and so i was attempting to setup config prior to installing a vyos image. After install image and a reboot it works!
