Title: DHCP Weirdness
Post by: spetrillo on March 15, 2022, 09:45:57 PM
Hello all,

Has anyone seen where you get multiple entries of the same device? Is there a way to get rid of them? I guess I could remove the static entry, let DHCP find it again, and then add it back statically?

Thanks,
Steve

Looks like you have clicked on the button "show all configured leases". This will show you the presently used leases as well as all that have been previously handed out and whose lease time is not up yet.

This is handy to see why a certain IP cannot be obtained from DHCP as the server has to keep track about who has a lease to what IP until when as it cannot know if a client that disconnected will reconnect again and continue to use the lease it has been assigned (as it is totally allowed to do).
