Hi Brandon,<br><br> I have an alternative , what you can do is once the printers get ip address you will include as fixed-address entry in the config file rite ? .. while doing so , just remove the static ip address added from the default dhcp range.<br>
<br>For example.<br><br>If your default dhcp range was 192.168.10.100 to 192.168.10.150 <br>and now printer is alloted an ip 192.168.10.105 ,<br>now you will be changing the config file of dhcp, what you need to do is<br>
split the dhcp range as <br><br>range 192.168.10.100, 192.168.10.104<br>range 192.168.10.106, 192.168.10.150<br><br>and also add the static address as you were doing earlier i.e <br><br>host xxx <br>{<br>ethernet xxxxxxx<br>
ip xxxxxxx<br>}<br><br>By such exclusion of static ip from default dhcp server range, ip conflicts wont be seen in future. <br><br>I hope this helps. <br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><br>On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 9:58 PM, Brandon Munger <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bmunger@edison.edu">bmunger@edison.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

How are reserved leases defined? Can it be defined in the host<br>
declaration area? Thank you.<br><font color="#888888">

Yes those static leases are in the range. We use this for IP printers so what we normally<br>
do is turn the printer on, let it get an IP address, then go into the dhcpd.conf and add<br>
that as a static address.<br>

I assume by "static lease" you mean "host declaration with fixed address" ?<br>
<br>
If that is the case then you MUST NOT have the static address included in any dynamic range<period><br>
<br>
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.<br>
