[rbak-nsp] CLIPS - hard to start up ;-)

hello Marcin,

It looks like you have configured more than what is necessary for
CLIPS/DHCP to work on your SmartEdge 100 (for example, ip pool under
the multibind interface, static IP address under the subscriber
profile while you have an internal DHCP server configured etc.). This
might be the reason you see this problem.

A couple of questions:
1. SEOS version on your SmartEdge
2. Do you have a DHCP relay between the SmartEdge and the DHCP
clients? If so, you need to add a route in context r0 for the DHCP
client subnet, pointing to the interface on the DHCP relay that faces
the SmartEdge.

I've included a working configuration for CLIPS with DHCP server on
running on the SmartEdge.

context dhserver1
!
 no ip domain-lookup
!
 interface 2/5-vlan20.1
  ip address 172.25.26.112/24
!
 interface gre-r5-r2-intf
  ip address 172.25.32.112/24
!
 interface lo1 loopback
  ip address 172.30.26.112/32
!
 interface subs multibind
  ip address 172.15.8.2/23
  dhcp server interface
 no logging console

 aaa authentication subscriber none
!
!
 subscriber default
   ip source-validation
   dhcp max-addrs 1
!
 ip route 172.15.8.0/23 172.25.26.110
!
 dhcp server policy
   default-lease-time 1800
   maximum-lease-time 3600
   subnet 172.15.8.0/23
     range 172.15.8.3 172.15.9.252
     option router 172.15.8.1
     option domain-name-server 172.29.200.1 172.29.200.2
     option dhcp-server-identifier 172.25.26.112
!
end

Here's the configuration under the port where the DHCP discovers are
received on the SmartEdge..

port ethernet 2/1
 no shutdown
 encapsulation dot1q
 dot1q pvc 10 encapsulation 1qtunnel
  dot1q pvc 20:1
  service clips dhcp context dhserver1
   bind interface 2/5-vlan20.1 dhserver1

hope this helps
