Title: DNSmasq DNS & DHCP: Devices assigned to Hosts list but still got other IP
Post by: ohlalayeah on October 07, 2026, 05:14:52 AM
I have installed OPNsense on my miniPC recently. The version should be 26.7.x.

The DNSmasq DNS & DHCP is working on assigning IP address to the devices on my network via DHCP. However, some devices have been assigned statis IPs using their MAC addresses and have been added to the "Hosts" list but when I configure them to obtain IP address via DHCP, they got assigned dynamic IP addresses within the DHCP range.

Devices which are supposed to be assigned static IP addresses ranged from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.5x.
DHCP range has been set from 192.168.1.3 to 192.168.1.245.

to supplement, some devices could obtain the static IPs from the Hosts list, some obtained the dynamic IPs such as TP-link network switch and an IPcam. dunno why.

Please help me resolve the issue. Otherwise, please provide a step by step tutorial on how to configure DNSmasq DHCP server.  Thank you.
