I have set up my Raspberry Pi Zero with the USB Ethernet gadget as described by Adafruit.
This works wonderfully with static IP addresses. Now I want to put a little DHCP server in the Pi, so that I don't have to configure a static IP every time I connect to it.
Since I have no network connection, I've downloaded and manually installed using dpkg the isc-dhcp-server_4.3.1-6+deb8u2_armhf.deb and lsb-base_4.1+Debian13+nmu1_all.deb packages.
Next, I set up/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:
ddns-update-style none;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.169.7.10 192.168.7.20;
option routers 192.168.7.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.7.255;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
option domain-name "local";
}
and /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server:
DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
DHCPD_PID=/var/run/dhcpd.pid
INTERFACES="usb0"
And /etc/network/interfaces looks like this:
iface usb0 inet static
address 192.168.7.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.7.0
broadcast 192.168.7.255
gateway 192.168.7.1
When I now try:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart
Job for isc-dhcp-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ systemctl status isc-dhcp-server

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ journalctl -xn
No journal files were found.
I don't have a clue what's wrong, and the lack of error messages is not helping. It seems like the DHCP server does not even start.
Anyone able to help?
