DHCP: One NIC and multiple subnets
I'm setting up a Debian to work as a gateway for a small office network. I need to have three subnetworks for different areas within the company and I will define which PCs will get what IP based on their MAC addresses.
My question is: is it possible to handle DHCP for 3 subnets with a single NIC? how?
I tried setting up on virtual interface for each network like this:
# ip addr show dev eth2
4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000
link/ether 6c:f0:49:a4:47:38 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.10/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth2
inet 10.1.2.1/24 brd 10.1.2.255 scope global eth2:1
inet 10.1.3.1/24 brd 10.1.3.255 scope global eth2:2
inet 10.1.1.1/24 brd 10.1.1.255 scope global eth2:0
inet6 fe80::6ef0:49ff:fea4:4738/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
Note: eth2 is using 192.168.1.10 because the box is not currently the network gateway. This is just temporary.
Then I set up my dhcpd.conf like this:
ddns-update-style interim;
option domain-name "mydomain.com";
option domain-name-servers ns1.mydomain.com;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.1.100 10.1.1.254;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option routers 10.1.1.1;
option ip-forwarding off;
option broadcast-address 10.1.1.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option ntp-servers 10.1.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.1;
}
subnet 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.2.100 10.1.2.254;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option routers 10.1.2.1;
option ip-forwarding off;
option broadcast-address 10.1.2.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option ntp-servers 10.1.2.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.2.1;
}
subnet 10.1.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 10.1.3.100 10.1.3.254;
default-lease-time 86400;
max-lease-time 86400;
option routers 10.1.3.1;
option ip-forwarding off;
option broadcast-address 10.1.3.255;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option ntp-servers 10.1.3.1;
option domain-name-servers 10.1.3.1;
}
But when I try to launch dhcpd I get this:
# dhcpd -4 eth2:0 eth2:1 eth2:2

I'm really new to DHCP, so I'm probably missing something obvious. I've been googling for a while but I can't find the answers I need or I'm not searching right.
Since the three subnets share the same medium (eth2), they should be declared inside the same shared-network
:
shared-network my-net {
subnet 10.1.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
}
subnet 10.1.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
}
subnet 10.1.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
}
}
