Subject: DHCP 4.2.4 test mode inconsistent with production mode
Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:43:18 +0100
To: dhcp-bugs@isc.org
From: Niall O'Reilly <Niall.oReilly@ucd.ie>
I have a failover peer specification to which no pool yet refers. Test mode does not catch this as an error (RC==0), but production mode does (RC==1). As a consequence, I can't depend on validation using test mode to protect against a configuration which will disable the service.

Hi Niall,

No sorry - there isn't a public interface to our current bug tracking system - but you can always ask (as you just did).

I also have to report that there is no progress on it yet - the DHCP engineering team are currently very busy with other work - prioritizing of the many requests we receive is an ongoing challenge.

Kind regards,

Cathy

I understand. I'll probably ask again in a few months. Thanks, Cathy. Niall

I've checked recent release notes, and not found a reference to this bug. Could you please let me know what its status is? Thanks and best regards, Niall O'Reilly
Hello Niall: You'll be pleased to learn that we've fixed your issue in our upcoming releases 4.3.6, 4.1-ESV-R15 due out 7/31/2017; and 4.4.0 whose release is TBD. The test to ensure that each failover peer is referenced in at least one pool was been moved upstream so that it is now done early enough in the startup process to be checked in test mode. The test itself is slightly different as well. Formerly the test would report and fail on the first peer with no pools. Now it checks all peers, reporting each that has no pools before exiting. We like to thank our contributors by citing them in the release notes. If you wish to be recognized in this way please let us know how you care to be identified. Most often it is by name and organization. Sincerely, Thomas Markwalder ISC Software Engineering
