Hi I am trying to configure DHCP using vyos\_config in VyOS 1.2.0-rc11 Following DHCP config based on vyos wiki - [https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/DHCP\_server](https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/DHCP_server) Part of my playbook has: - name: Setup DNS server for eth3 - LAN with DHCP & Private IP vyos\_config: lines: set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN authoritative set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) default-router 192.168.100.1 set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) dns-server 192.168.100.1 set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) lease 86400 set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 start 192.168.100.2 set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 stop 192.168.100.254 and this throws following error on execution: TASK [Setup DNS server for eth3 - LAN with DHCP & Private IP] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* fatal: [_ **host** _]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “msg”: "8.100.2 set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN sub \rnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 stop 192.168.100.254\r\n\r\n Configuration path: service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN authoritative [set] is not valid\r\n Set failed\r\n\r\n[edit]\r\r\nanurag@router03# "} if I run the above lines directly via SSH in configure mode it works: anurag@host:~$ configure [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN authoritative [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) default-router 192.168.100.1 [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) dns-server 192.168.100.1 [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) lease 86400 [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 start 192.168.100.2 [edit] anurag@host# set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 stop 192.168.100.254 [edit] anurag@host# [edit] anurag@host# commit [edit] anurag@host# Any idea what is wrong in the playbook? ---

Aah I was using wrong syntax. Correct syntax which works: - name: Setup DNS server for eth3 - LAN with DHCP & Private IP vyos\_config: lines: - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN authoritative - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) default-router 192.168.100.1 - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) dns-server 192.168.100.1 - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) lease 86400 - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 start 192.168.100.2 - set service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet [192.168.100.0/24](http://192.168.100.0/24) range 0 stop 192.168.100.254 Sorry for the noise on the list!
