Hi,
I made some corrections in my initial email. Sorry for the confusion.
My DHCP server software is dhcpd v4.4.2 and running on CentOS 7. The DHCP Server IP address is 10.2.1.10.
In the example, the client MAC is 74:a7:11:22:33:44 and its IP is 10.1.14.94.
After I added the client MAC to the subclass "mytest" in the dhcpd.conf and restarted the dhcpd,
I expected the client's next DHCP renew request would not succeed because of
the following statement:
deny members of "mytest" in the pool (range 10.1.1.1 10.1.16.255) definition.
But it did not happen. The client did renewing its address 10.1.14.94 after the servers restarted.
By comparison, I added a few other clients to the subclass "mytest" in the dhcpd.conf file and restarted the dhcp servers. Those clients did not renew their existing IPs in the range 10.1.1.1
10.1.16.255, instead, got their new IP addresses from the other pool range 10.1.252.1 10.1.255.254. These clients' behavior is expected.
Is this a DHCP sever software bug or something else?
Thanks for your time.
