DHCP Lease File Error
Hello,
I have configured dhcp server on RHEL 6 & found working properly. The default lease time is 86400 seconds, means 1 day for client computer.
Now, Since last 2 days, I am facing strange problem in DHCP Server. The scenario is as given below.
* DHCP IP Address Pool Range is 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.20
* DHCP has assigned "192.168.1.14" IP address to my laptop.
* After an hour, if I disconnect & reconnect the network cable, DHCP Server will assign another IP Address!!!
* Means, DHCP has provided 2 IP Addresses to my laptop, but actually I need only one.
* Added to this, /var/lib/dhcpd/ directory contains 1 additional file. The names are given below.
dhcpd.leases
dhcpd.leases~
Now, what is the mean of "dhcpd.leases~" file?
That file will be created automatically when disconnect & reconnect my laptop cable to get IP Address from DHCP Server.
Can someone have the proper solution?
Pls Note: I am using DHCP in failover mode. Means, there are 2 DHCP Servers in my network in active passive mode.
Please acknowledge if possible,
Nishith
