Please try the latest version of DHCP-3.0.1 for EL3, that will be in RHEL-3-U4, but which meanwhile is available from: http://people.redhat.com/~jvdias/DHCP/RHEL-3 I think the above issue is actually a "feature" : if the last recorded lease in /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.leases has not expired, then dhclient will try to renew the existing lease, not request a new one. Yes, it looks like a feature, but it does not documented anywhere. This is strange, as client meaning of lease activity should not has primary role. I suppose server configuration should dominate in lease renew process. I can reproduce this situation in new version. Internal RFE bug #153928 entered; will be considered for future releases.
I think this is the way DHCP is meant to work:
- When the server grants the 172.16.0.127 static lease for
ab:cd:ef:ab:cd:ef, it creates an entry in its lease database
/var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases, and the client creates an entry
in its lease database /usr/lib/dhcp/dhclient-${IF}.leases .
- When the server is restarted with the static lease commented
out, it still has the 172.16.0.127 lease in its lease database,
which is also valid in the dynamic lease pool, so it allows the
client to renew this lease, which is its default behaviour.
So I don't think this issue is a bug.
Please try the latest dhcp version in RHEL-3: dhcp-3.0.1-10 , and
let me know if this issue is still a problem for you; if so, I'll
re-open this bug.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: If IP was taken by client then adding reservation in /etc/dhcpd.conf does not work while lease is active. Client holding this lease can renew it at least one time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dhcp-3.0pl2-6.14 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install DHCP server 2. configure it with no reservation (comment host statement) 3. wait while client will lease this IP first client should get 172.16.0.127 4. uncomment host statement 5. look on client on 'ifconfig' 6. restart DHCP server 7. issue on client 'service network restart' 8. look on client on 'ifconfig' Actual Results: Client IP was not changed, lease is renewed. Expected Results: Client change IP address, lease is released for specified MAC adress Additional info: # /etc/dhcpd.conf -------------------------- ddns-update-style none; authoritative; subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 { ddns-updates off; max-lease-time 259200; default-lease-time 259200; option broadcast-address 172.16.255.255; option subnet-mask 255.255.0.0; option domain-name "mylan"; option domain-name-servers 172.16.0.147, 172.16.0.10; option time-servers 172.16.0.107, 172.16.0.18; option netbios-name-servers 172.16.0.147, 172.16.0.10; option netbios-node-type 8; pool { ddns-updates off; range 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.127; } pool { ddns-updates off; range 172.16.0.128 172.16.254.254; } group { # host tst1 { # fixed-address 172.16.0.127; # hardware ethernet ab:cd:ef:ab:cd:ef; # } } }
