Redpitaya Forum

Dear all,

I'm using a copy of Red Pitaya OS 0.96-84 on my RP. I got some trouble with DHCP and the hostname. I don't know if this belongs together. The RP should get an IP via DHCP which is reserved for its MAC address. But it seems like that the DHCP is not working well. I checked and DHCP was active.

Furthermore, I can't change the hostname. I tried to edit and hostname manually. Also I tried to use hostnamectl . After a reboot the hostname was reset to something like "rp-f010d0" which seems to be the first characters of its MAC address.

Maybe someone knows what's going on

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

I tried your configuration (ecosystem-0.96-84) and had no problem with DHCP.

The hostname thing is probably related to the new way of ip discovery via bonjour service. I don't know any details about how it works or how to disable it, though.

Hi Nils,

thank you for testing! I'm not sure if the problem is related to the infrastructure of our network at my company or to settings of the RedPitaya itself. We have other RedPitayas running with OS 0.95.x without any trouble. I'll try to contact the developers as well.


Regards,
Alex

Hi all,

the problem is the Bonjour services which suppress the usually way to get an IP via DHCP. The IT department tried to make a reservation for a specific MAC address but in the end Bonjour has chosen its own address. We are now using a Bonjour ID to get the IP address. To be honest, I prefer the traditional way which was used before!

I am also seeking a solution to this.
