It is intended to provide. DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local. DNS server. It loads the. DNS can be resolved and also answers. DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts. It can also act as the. Cisco ASA New Features by Release.

In a screened subnet firewall, access to. DNS server for one or more domains, allowing local names. DNS. It can be configured to do DNSSEC. The dnsmasq DHCP server supports static address assignments and multiple. It automatically. DHCP options, and can be configured to. DHCP options, including vendor encapsulated. It includes a secure, read only. TFTP server to allow netPXE boot of DHCP hosts and also supports BOOTP. The PXE support is full featured, and includes a proxy mode which supplies PXE information to clients whilst DHCP address allocation is done by another server. The dnsmasq DHCPv. DHCPv. 4 server, and in addition, it includes router advertisements and. DHCPv. 4 and. stateless autoconfiguration only for IPv. There is support for doing address allocation both DHCPv. RA from subnets which are dynamically delegated via DHCPv. Dnsmasq is coded with small embedded systems in mind. It aims for the smallest possible memory footprint compatible with the supported functions, and allows unneeded functions to be omitted from the compiled binary. Note that in general missing parameters are allowed and switch off. PID file. On. BSD, unless the GNU getopt library is linked, the long form of the. Read and syntax check configuration files. Exit with code 0 if all. OK, or a non zero code otherwise. Do not start up dnsmasq. Display all command line options. DHCPv. 4 configuration options, and. DHCPv. 6 options. Dont read the hostnames in etchosts. H, addn hostslt file. Additional hosts file. Read the specified file as well as etchosts. If h is given, read. This option may be repeated for more than one. If a directory is given, then read all the files contained in that directory. Read all the hosts files contained in the directory. New or changed files. See dhcp hostsdir for details. E, expand hosts. Add the domain to simple names without a period in etchosts. DHCP derived names. Note that this does not. PTR records, TXT records etc. T, local ttllt time. When replying with information from etchosts or configuration or the DHCP leases. This is. the correct thing to do in almost all situations. This option allows a. This will. reduce the load on the server at the expense of clients using stale. As for local ttl, but affects only replies with information from DHCP leases. If both are given, dhcp ttl applies for DHCP information, and local ttl for others. Setting this to zero eliminates the effect of local ttl for DHCP. Negative replies from upstream servers normally contain time to live. SOA records which dnsmasq uses for caching. If the. replies from upstream servers omit this information, dnsmasq does not. This option gives a default value for time to live. SOA record. max ttllt time. Set a maximum TTL value that will be handed out to clients. The specified. maximum TTL will be given to clients instead of the true TTL value if it is. The true TTL value is however kept in the cache to avoid flooding. DNS servers. max cache ttllt time. Set a maximum TTL value for entries in the cache. Extend short TTL values to the time given when caching them. Note that. artificially extending TTL values is in general a bad idea, do not do it. Dnsmasq limits the value of this option to one hour, unless recompiled. Set the TTL value returned in answers from the authoritative server. Do not go into the background at startup but otherwise run as. This is intended for use when dnsmasq is run under daemontools. Debug mode dont fork to the background, dont write a pid file. SIGUSR1, log to stderr as well as syslog, dont fork new processes. TCP queries. Note that this option is for use in debugging. Log the results of DNS queries handled by dnsmasq. Enable a full cache dump on receipt of SIGUSR1. If the argument extra is supplied, ie. This consists of a serial number which ties together the log lines associated with an individual query, and the IP address of the requestor. Set the facility to which dnsmasq will send syslog entries, this. DAEMON, and to LOCAL0 when debug mode is in operation. If. the facility given contains at least one character, it is taken to. If the facility is then dnsmasq logs to stderr. Errors whilst reading configuration will still go to syslog. When logging to a file. SIGUSR2. This. allows the log file to be rotated without stopping dnsmasq. Enable asynchronous logging and optionally set the limit on the. Dnsmasq can log asynchronously this. DNS queries without risking deadlock. If the queue of log lines becomes full, dnsmasq will log the. The default queue length is. Specify an alternate path for dnsmasq to record its process id in. Normally varrundnsmasq. Specify the userid to which dnsmasq will change after startup. Dnsmasq must normally be started as root, but it will drop root. Normally this user is nobody but that. Specify the group which dnsmasq will run. The defaults to dip, if available, to facilitate access to. Print the version number. Listen on lt port instead of the standard DNS port 5. Setting this. to zero completely disables DNS function, leaving only DHCP andor TFTP. P, edns packet maxlt size. Specify the largest EDNS. UDP packet which is supported by the DNS. Defaults to 4. 09. RFC5. 62. 5 recommended size. Q, query portlt queryport. Send outbound DNS queries from, and listen for their replies on, the. UDP port lt queryport instead of using random ports. NOTE. that using this option will make dnsmasq less secure against DNS. Setting this option. OS this was the default behaviour in versions prior to 2. Do not use ports less than that given as source for outbound DNS. Dnsmasq picks random ports as source for outbound queries. Useful for systems behind firewalls. Use ports lower than that given as source for outbound DNS queries. Dnsmasq picks random ports as source for outbound queries. Useful for systems behind firewalls. Listen only on the specified interfaces. Dnsmasq automatically adds. If no. listen address. On Linux, when. bind interfaces. IP alias interface labels eg eth. In the degenerate case when an interface has one address, this amounts to the same thing but when an interface has multiple addresses it. The same effect is achievable in default mode by using. A simple wildcard, consisting of a trailing. I, except interfacelt interface name. Do not listen on the specified interface. Note that the order of. The comments about interface labels for. Enable DNS authoritative mode for queries arriving at an interface or address. Note that the interface or address. DNS service on the. The lt domain is the glue record. It should. resolve in the global DNS to a A andor AAAA record which points to. When an interface is specified. IPv. 4 or IPv. 6. Accept DNS queries only from hosts whose address is on a local subnet.

Do not provide DHCP or TFTP on the specified interface, but do provide DNS service. Listen on the given IP addresses.
