DHCP-relay problems with OpenVPN uplink
Closed, WontfixPublicBUG
Actions

Description

It's not possible to use DHCP-relay agent over OpenVPN(L3/vtun) uplink beause of ISC DHCP-relay agent limitations/bug.
If I use the vyos DHCP-relay it's necessary to configure the LAN and the uplink interface to DHCP server in dhcp-relay config section. But OpenVPN TUN interfaces can't be used as dhcp-relay interfaces because they has no MAC addresses.
Are there any workarounds for this configuration?
Tools like dnsmasq(>version 2.67) and dhcp-helper from Simon Kelley use only one interface for dhcp-relay function.
Are there any plans to switch to this packages in vyos?
