<td><span style=" font-family:'tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">What is the appropriate way to see lease information on ISC dhcpd 4.2.2 for hosts defined with a fixed-address? For example, say I have this config:<br>
<br>
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {<br>
option routers 10.0.0.1;<br>
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;<br>
}<br>
<br>
group {<br>
<br>
host some.host.tld {<br>
hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;<br>
fixed-address 10.0.0.2<br>
}<br>
<br>
[...]<br>
}<br>
<br>
I am able to see in my dhcpd logs the full transaction (discover/offer/request/ack) between the client and server. However, when I look at the leases file or try to look for a lease object with the client's IP in omshell, the lease for that IP is not there. For what it's worth, leases given to clients from pool declarations are present. Should I be looking elsewhere, or is the dhcpd log the only place I can check to see if a client has requested a lease and given a fixed-address?<br>

<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">That is normal/as-designed. Since everything needed to determine the lease given is already present in the config file, there's no need to put anything about these leases in the leases file. [There's no need to keep track of expiration, etc - it doesn't matter to the server.]<br>
<br>
AFAIK, the only place you'll see record of it, is in the log files.<br>
