I have been having the same issue with not receiving a DHCP response in time. I too, would appreciate it if the default value were raised or made tunable with cast-o-matic. Thanks, Matt Mulsow On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 1:14 PM, Dax Kelson <dkelson@gurulabs.com> wrote:

Hello,

Can UDPcast be configured to "try harder/longer" to obtain a DHCP lease? We have spanning tree running on our switches and updcast always fails to obtain a lease on the first three attempts, then manually telling it to try again always results in success. This defeats the "preconfigured" setup.

Looking at the docs for udhcpc, I see:

-T,--timeout=N Try to get a lease for N seconds (default 3)

Could you bump this up by default to say 10 seconds (or have it tunable on the cast-o-matic)?

Thanks, Dax Kelson Guru Labs

BTW, the mailman page for this list is giving a "500 Internal Server Error".

I've now bumped it to 11 seconds (in order to take some slack...), and noticed that it actually retries 3 times (giving 33 seconds for the switch to react) Alain
