First of all, this is not urgent since dhcp works just fine, but I was wondering why this happens:
I have two subnets configured in dhcpd.conf
One of them handles range 1-239 and assigns fixed IPs based on mac addresses. e.g.:
Code:
host computer
{
hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;
fixed-address 123.456.789.10;
}
Second handles the rest (240-254) and assigns a dynamic IPs from the range to defined hosts. e.g.:
Code:
host another-computer { hardware ethernet 55:44:33:22:11:00; }
The first subnet automatically ignores all computers not listed as hosts.
The second subnet required a
Code:
boot-unknown-clients false;
to behave the same way, otherwise it just assigns an address from the range to everyone.
is in global options.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
