You do keep the fixed addresses in a different range than the
dynamic?<br>
<br>
A fixed address statement does not prevent the same address being
handed out as dynamic if it lies within that range.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello,
We are running ISC DHCP 3.1.0 in a failover configuration. I do know
that 3.1.0 is a somewhat old version, but it has worked well for us.
I am wondering if this is the expected behavior of fixed-address
statements:
Upon initial inspection, it seems that if you declare a fixed-address
for a MAC address, that IP address is reserved and can only be used by
the declared MAC address.
In reality, we are seeing the DHCP server hand out fixed-addresses to
any MAC. When the MAC address that is assigned the fixed-address asks for
an IP, DHCP will attempt to give it the fixed-address if it is free, but
will hand out another IP if it's unavailable.
Is this how fixed-address statements are supposed to work? If so, is
there a way to make sure only a specific MAC address can use a specific
IP address?
For reference, this is how we are declaring fixed-addresses:
host HOSTX { hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;fixed-address
###.###.###.###; }
I have stripped the MAC and IP address out.
Thank You,
</pre>
