Thanks a lot glenn, I'll let you know if this works fine!

hi Gianluca,

Try moving the host {} statements so they are outside the pool {}. The best position is to put them in the global space outsode all the subnet declarations.

host statements are global, but putting them inside a pool or subnet restricts where they can inherit settings from.

regards,
-glenn

with an intermediary DHCP relay in the middle. My dhcp server is a linux PC (Fedora 10: 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686) with isc-dhcpd-4.0.0 package.

range (for example range 192.168.2.10 192.168.2.50). When I'm trying to assign a fixed address to a single CPE, for example with the statements:

the same ip address on the subnet 192.168.2.x and the CPE is reporting an ip-address overlapping error.

and agent.circuit-id of the incoming DHCP packet and select the correct fixed address to serve all subnets with the correct fixed address.

CPE could have all his subnets correctly served with a correct ip-address. So the issue is just when trying to assign a static fixed address.
