Thanks Glenn,<br>

I think the solution is to migrate the printers to a new range outside
of the<br>
dynamic scope if there is no other alternative.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Brandon
I can think of two different solutions hare.
1. Give your printers a new IP address so that all the fixed-address
hosts are grouped together outside the dynamic range?
2. Give them a really *long* lease time, like one or more years. Could
either use a class/sub-class or group, eg:
# printers
group {
min-lease-time 31536000; # one year
host foo { hardware ethernet ...; }
}
or
class "printers" {
match hardware;
min-lease-time 31536000; # one year
}
subclass "printers" 1:8:0:2b:4c:39:ad;
See the section in the dhcpd.conf man page titled SUBCLASSING.
regards,
-glenn

How are reserved leases defined? Can it be defined in the host
declaration area? Thank you.

<pre wrap="">I assume by "static lease" you mean "host declaration with fixed address"
?
If that is the case then you MUST NOT have the static address included in
any dynamic range<period>
If you have the address in a dynamic range then you are telling the server
that the address is available for leasing to clients, so it does just that.
I think version 4 introduces a facility for reserved leases - so you could
continue dynamically allocating addresses, and then simply set the lease to
reserved so it cannot be given to any other client.
