I’m trying to set up a dhcp server on an interface (dummy interface) within a VRF to listen from DHCP requests from clients. All the DHCP requests are going to be made through dhcp relay agents. So when I run the command:
set service dhcp-server listen-address
with the IP address of the dummy interface I want to use as a listener:
dummy dum2 {
address 147.75.200.100/32
description DHCP-SERVICE
vrf VLAN3
But when I try to commit, I’m getting the following error:
vyos@vyos# commit
listen-address “147.75.200.100” not configured on any interface
[[service dhcp-server]] failed
Commit failed
It is weird because when configuring the listener ip address one of the ip address available is that one:
*vyos@vyos# set service dhcp-server listen-address *
Possible completions:
- <x.x.x.x> IPv4 address to listen for incoming connections*
- 10.222.1.1 *
- 10.222.1.3 *
- 127.0.0.1 *
- 147.75.200.100 *
- 147.75.200.207*
I’m using the following code version:
vyos@vyos# run show ver

This is the DHCP server config I’m trying to commit (the IP address 147.75.200.100 is reachable and advertised through BGP):
+dhcp-server {
+ listen-address 147.75.200.100
+ shared-network-name PROV1 {
+ subnet 172.16.100.0/31 {
+ default-router 172.16.100.0
+ static-mapping cust_rk07_p3 {
+ ip-address 172.16.100.1
+ mac-address 00:50:09:00:14:00
+ }
+ }
+ }
+}
I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if the config I’m trying to apply is not supported by the Dhcp-server (I’m not allowed to attach the whole config file of the device for your reference). Can anybody help me with this configuration?
