Subject: [PATCH] IPsrcaddr: Add warning about DHCP
a4c26e
a4c26e
If DHCP is enabled for the interface that serves OCF_RESKEY_ipaddress,
a4c26e
then NetworkManager (and possibly dhclient in systems without NM;
a4c26e
unsure) may later re-add a route that the IPsrcaddr resource replaced.
a4c26e
This may cause the resource to fail or cause other unexpected behavior.
a4c26e
a4c26e
So far this has been observed with a default route, albeit with an edge
a4c26e
case of a configuration (OCF_RESKEY_ipaddress on a different subnet)
a4c26e
that may not be totally valid. There are likely to be other situations
a4c26e
as well where DHCP can cause conflicts with IPsrcaddr's manual updates
a4c26e
via iproute. The safest option is to use only static configuration for
a4c26e
the involved interface.
