NAME
dhcpd.leases - DHCP client lease database
DESCRIPTION
The Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server keeps a persistent database
of leases that it has assigned. This database is a free-form ASCII
file containing a series of lease declarations. Every time a lease is
acquired, renewed or released, its new value is recorded at the end of
the lease file. So if more than one declaration appears for a given
lease, the last one in the file is the current one.
When dhcpd is first installed, there is no lease database. However,
dhcpd requires that a lease database be present before it will start.
To make the initial lease database, just create an empty file called
DBDIR/dhcpd.leases. You can do this with:
touch DBDIR/dhcpd.leases
In order to prevent the lease database from growing without bound, the
file is rewritten from time to time. First, a temporary lease data‐
base is created and all known leases are dumped to it. Then, the old
lease database is renamed DBDIR/dhcpd.leases~. Finally, the newly
written lease database is moved into place.
In order to process both DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 messages you will need to
run two separate instances of the dhcpd process. Each of these
instances will need it's own lease file. You can use the -lf option on
the server's command line to specify a different lease file name for
one or both servers.
FORMAT
Lease descriptions are stored in a format that is parsed by the same
recursive descent parser used to read the dhcpd.conf(5) and
dhclient.conf(5) files. Lease files can contain lease declarations,
and also group and subgroup declarations, host declarations and
failover state declarations. Group, subgroup and host declarations are
used to record objects created using the OMAPI protocol.
The lease file is a log-structured file - whenever a lease changes, the
contents of that lease are written to the end of the file. This means
that it is entirely possible and quite reasonable for there to be two
or more declarations of the same lease in the lease file at the same
time. In that case, the instance of that particular lease that
appears last in the file is the one that is in effect.
Group, subgroup and host declarations in the lease file are handled in
the same manner, except that if any of these objects are deleted, a
rubout is written to the lease file. This is just the same declara‐
tion, with { deleted; } in the scope of the declaration. When the
lease file is rewritten, any such rubouts that can be eliminated are
eliminated. It is possible to delete a declaration in the dhcpd.conf
file; in this case, the rubout can never be eliminated from the
dhcpd.leases file.
COMMON STATEMENTS FOR LEASE DECLARATIONS
While the lease file formats for DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 are different they
share many common statements and structures. This section describes
the common statements while the succeeding sections describe the proto‐
col specific statements.
Dates
A date is specified in two ways, depending on the configuration value
for the db-time-format parameter. If it was set to default, then the
date fields appear as follows:
weekday year/month/day hour:minute:second
The weekday is present to make it easy for a human to tell when a lease
expires - it's specified as a number from zero to six, with zero being
Sunday. The day of week is ignored on input. The year is specified
with the century, so it should generally be four digits except for
really long leases. The month is specified as a number starting with 1
for January. The day of the month is likewise specified starting with
1. The hour is a number between 0 and 23, the minute a number between
0 and 59, and the second also a number between 0 and 59.
Lease times are specified in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC), not in
the local time zone. There is probably nowhere in the world where the
times recorded on a lease are always the same as wall clock times. On
most unix machines, you can display the current time in UTC by typing
date -u.
If the db-time-format was configured to local, then the date fields
appear as follows:
epoch <seconds-since-epoch>; # <day-name> <month-name> <day-number>
<hours>:<minutes>:<seconds> <year>
The seconds-since-epoch is as according to the system's local clock
(often referred to as "unix time"). The # symbol supplies a comment
that describes what actual time this is as according to the system's
configured timezone, at the time the value was written. It is provided
only for human inspection.
If a lease will never expire, date is never instead of an actual date.
General Variables
As part of the processing of a lease information may be attached to the
lease structure, for example the DDNS information or if you specify a
variable in your configuration file. Some of these, like the DDNS
information, have specific descriptions below. For others, such as any
you might define, a generic line of the following will be included.
set variable = value;
The set statement sets the value of a variable on the lease. For gen‐
eral information on variables, see the dhcp-eval(5) manual page.
DDNS Variables
The ddns-text variable
This variable is used to record the value of the client's identification
record when the server has updated DNS for a particular lease. The text
record is used with the interim DDNS update style.
The ddns-fwd-name variable
This variable records the value of the name used in
updating the client's A record if a DDNS update has been successfully
done by the server. The server may also have used this name to
update the client's PTR record.
The ddns-client-fqdn variable
If the server is configured both to use the interim DDNS update
style, and to allow clients to update their own FQDNs, then if the
client did in fact update its own FQDN, the
ddns-client-fqdn variable records the name that the client has
indicated it is using. This is the name that the server will have
used to update the client's PTR record in this case.
The ddns-rev-name variable
If the server successfully updates the client's PTR record, this
variable will record the name that the DHCP server used for the PTR
record. The name to which the PTR record points will be either the
ddns-fwd-name or the ddns-client-fqdn.
Executable Statements
on events { statements... }
The on statement records a list of statements to execute if a
certain event occurs. The possible events that can occur for an
active lease are release and expiry. More than one event
can be specified - if so, the events are separated by '|' characters.
The authoring-byte-order statement
authoring-byte-order [ big-endian | little-endian ] ;
This statement is automatically added to the top of new lease files by
the server. It indicates the internal byte order of the server. This
permits lease files generated on a server with one form of byte order
to be read by a server with a different form. Lease files which do not
contain this entry are simply treated as having the same byte order as
the server reading them. If you are migrating lease files generated
by a server that predates this statement and is of a different byte
order than the your destination server, you can manually add this
statement. It must proceed any lease entries. Valid values for this
parameter are little-endian and big-endian.
THE DHCPv4 LEASE DECLARATION
lease ip-address { statements... }
Each lease declaration includes the single IP address that has been
leased to the client. The statements within the braces define the
duration of the lease and to whom it is assigned.
starts date;
ends date;
tstp date;
tsfp date;
atsfp date;
cltt date;
The start and end time of a lease are recorded using the starts and
ends statements. The tstp statement is present if the failover proto‐
col is being used, and indicates what time the peer has been told the
lease expires. The tsfp statement is also present if the failover
protocol is being used, and indicates the lease expiry time that the
peer has acknowledged. The atsfp statement is the actual time sent
from the failover partner. The cltt statement is the client's last
transaction time.
See the description of dates in the section on common structures.
hardware hardware-type mac-address;
The hardware statement records the MAC address of the network interface
on which the lease will be used. It is specified as a series of hexa‐
decimal octets, separated by colons.
uid client-identifier;
The uid statement records the client identifier used by the client to
acquire the lease. Clients are not required to send client identi‐
fiers, and this statement only appears if the client did in fact send
one. Client identifiers are normally an ARP type (1 for ethernet)
followed by the MAC address, just like in the hardware statement, but
this is not required.
The client identifier is recorded as a colon-separated hexadecimal list
or as a quoted string. If it is recorded as a quoted string and it
contains one or more non-printable characters, those characters are
represented as octal escapes - a backslash character followed by three
octal digits.
client-hostname hostname ;
Most DHCP clients will send their hostname in the host-name option. If
a client sends its hostname in this way, the hostname is recorded on
the lease with a client-hostname statement. This is not required by
the protocol, however, so many specialized DHCP clients do not send a
host-name option.
binding state state;
next binding state state;
The binding state statement declares the lease's binding state. When
the DHCP server is not configured to use the failover protocol, a
lease's binding state may be active, free or abandoned. The failover
protocol adds some additional transitional states, as well as the
backup state, which indicates that the lease is available for alloca‐
tion by the failover secondary. Please see the dhcpd.conf(5) manual
page for more information about abandoned leases.
The next binding state statement indicates what state the lease will
move to when the current state expires. The time when the current
state expires is specified in the ends statement.
option agent.circuit-id string;
option agent.remote-id string;
These statements are used to record the circuit ID and remote ID
options sent by the relay agent, if the relay agent uses the relay
agent information option. This allows these options to be used con‐
sistently in conditional evaluations even when the client is contacting
the server directly rather than through its relay agent.
The vendor-class-identifier variable
The server retains the client-supplied Vendor Class Identifier option
for informational purposes, and to render them in DHCPLEASEQUERY
responses.
bootp;
reserved;
If present, they indicate that the BOOTP and RESERVED failover flags
(respectively) should be set. BOOTP and RESERVED dynamic leases are
treated differently than normal dynamic leases, as they may only be
used by the client to which they are currently allocated.
Other Additional options or executable statements may be included, see
the description of them in the section on common structures.
THE DHCPv6 LEASE (IA) DECLARATION
ia_ta IAID_DUID { statements... }
ia_na IAID_DUID { statements... }
ia_pd IAID_DUID { statements... }
Each lease declaration starts with a tag indicating the type of the
lease. ia_ta is for temporary addresses, ia_na is for non-temporary
addresses and ia_pd is for prefix delegation. Following this tag is
the combined IAID and DUID from the client for this lease.
The IAID_DUID value is recorded as a colon-separated hexadecimal list
or as a quoted string. If it is recorded as a quoted string and it
contains one or more non-printable characters, those characters are
represented as octal escapes - a backslash character followed by three
octal digits.
cltt date;
The cltt statement is the client's last transaction time.
See the description of dates in the section on common structures.
iaaddr ipv6-address { statements... }
iaprefix ipv6-address/prefix-length { statements... }
Within a given lease there can be multiple iaaddr and iaprefix statements.
Each will have either an IPv6 address or an IPv6 prefix (an address and
a prefix length indicating a CIDR style block of addresses). The following
statements may occur Within each iaaddr or iaprefix.
binding state state;
The binding state statement declares the lease's binding state.
In DHCPv6 you will normally see this as active or expired.
preferred-life lifetime;
The IPv6 preferred lifetime associated with this address, in seconds.
max-life lifetime;
The valid lifetime associated with this address, in seconds.
ends date;
The end time of the lease. See the description of dates in the section on
common structures.
Additional options or executable statements may be included. See the description
of them in the section on common structures.
THE FAILOVER PEER STATE DECLARATION
The state of any failover peering arrangements is also recorded in the
lease file, using the failover peer statement:
failover peer name state {
my state state at date;
peer state state at date;
}
The states of the peer named name is being recorded. Both the state
of the running server (my state) and the other failover partner (peer
state) are recorded. The following states are possible: unknown-
state, partner-down, normal, communications-interrupted, resolution-
interrupted, potential-conflict, recover, recover-done, shutdown,
paused, and startup.
