Hi Jason, if you are going to have multiple reservations for the same mac (different IPs) then you need to confine those to their various subnets and not attempt to reserve them at the global level to avoid this error. Making host reservations for specific IP addresses at the global level is not really recommended in any case. Better to confine them to their subnet declaration.
