<div>We had an unusual problem last night where the server
was not able to give out any more leases from a specific
pool. The server logs showed " no more free leases". This
is a RHEL 6.7 server running dhcp 4.1.1. <br>
<br>
</div>
We have scripts that run which look for active leases. In
the pool in question we had over 200 available leases but
the server was unable to provide them to a client. I dug
around in dhcpd.leases and found what I think is the
problem. I found a ton of leases in the "expired" state with
an end date of 11/6. Which, If I am correct, will never move
into it next binding state of free so it can be used because
its a date in the past. <br>
<br>
</div>
Here is an example of one:<br>
<br>
lease 172.210.141.159 {<br>
starts 2 2017/11/07 11:40:37;<br>
ends 2 2017/11/07 12:10:37;<br>
tstp 2 2017/11/14 11:55:37;<br>
cltt 2 2017/11/07 11:40:37;<br>
binding state expired;<br>
next binding state free;<br>
<br>
</div>
Am I correct here? If so, what causes this problem and how can I
fix it? I have restarted dhcpd, but that does not help. If I
were to edit /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases manually and remove
these entries what are some things I should take into
consideration?<br>
