Hi, I havea laptop running fully up to date Stretch with
NetworkManager,
set to use DH|Cp via wireless.
The DHCP server is another Stretch system, with the stanzas
host tony-lt {
hardware ethernet 0c:60:76:6c:e6:6f;
fixed-address 192.168.1.199;
}
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.254;
option routers 192.168.1.10;
}
That MAC is correct for the laptop.
I an expecting to see 192.168.1.199 as the laptop address, but no, if a
gives:
wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP
group default qlen 1000
link/ether 0c:60:76:6c:e6:6f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 192.168.1.253/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic wlan0
valid_lft 479sec preferred_lft 479sec
Finally, the server shows:

So, my question: why is the server handing out .253, when it is
configured to provide .199?
What is this 'reuse-lease' all about?
I've tried 'dhclient -r wlan 0; dhclient -v wlan0' on the laptop, to no
avail.
Any suggestions, please?
bearing in mind that I've no idea what I'm talking about is it possible
that the laptop connected to the server and got a really long lease on
.253 before you added
host tony-lt {
hardware ethernet 0c:60:76:6c:e6:6f;
fixed-address 192.168.1.199;
}
probably there is a command to flush leases ?
