DHCP minimum and maximum lease problem
-
Hi All,
I have set my dhcp lease on the following setup:
Minimum : 2 days
Maximum 31 daysThese are my setting on the dhcp server:
but on the UI lease status. this is what i see. The start and end seems abnormal. only 10minutes difference???

Release the lease for a device, use the release command.
For windows, that will beipconfig /release
Then renew.
Also, packet-capture the whole DHCP communication. Use wire-shark and friends to detail all the info.
You'll see what will be asked for, and what the DHCP server (pfSense) is handing out.Another test :
Disconnect all devices - rip out cables, shut down radio devices.
Stop the DHCP server - all LAN type interfaces.
Delete all the DHCP lease cache files : /var/dhcpd/var/db/
Start DHCP server(s)
And check.edit : and what devices ?
Some just don't implement the DHCP protocol 'by the book'.What LAN ? Settings for the DHCP LAN server does not affect the settings of another LAN type (OPTx) interface.
