Fixed leases aren't working

[Guest]

Hello EFW community,
I have and EFW working in my net with 3 NIC's (blue, green and red), the DHCP server is enable in both interfaces (green and blue). I have fixed leases only with green DHCP  and free in the blue leases.

What I hope:
When someone connects with an unknown mac adress  to the wifi, take the blue subnet. Only the especified green leases have to take a green subnet.

What happens:
Some times, the green lease doesn't work, the device takes an blue ip number.

Can someone give me a hand with these?

I could not fully understand your issue but I will try to assist.

If you have DHCP enabled for a zone (green, blue etc.) and NO fixed leases then the client will take an IP from the DHCP pool for the zone it is connected to, so if a client connects to a network on the green zone it will get a IP from the green DHCP pool, same for blue etc.

If you have added fixed leases for all of your clients in the green zone and enabled 'Allow only fixed leases' for the green zone, then the client will get the IP address that you specified, if an unknown client connects to the green zone then it will not receive an IP from DHCP. If an unknown client connects to the blue zone it will receive an IP as you did not specify 'Allow only fixed leases' for this zone.

Note: If you have added a fixed lease for a client in the green zone and then connect that client to the blue zone, the client will receive an IP from the blue zone DHCP pool even if there is a fixed lease for the mac address in the green pool.

Hope this helps.

Thank you endianupdate

When you say "connect that client to the blue zone" you mean connect to my WAP?. Why I'm asking these? because I have only a single WAP configured with an IP number of the green zone and all the clients connect with it, independently if they are unknown mac adresses or not. Have I to have two WAP's? one for the blue and other for the green zone?

Other thing I noticed, executing "ipconfig /release and /renew" solves the problem. at least until the client ask for the lease again. For example a client connects to my WAP, with a know MAC adress (it have a fixed lease on green zone), the client takes a lease of the blue zone's pool, I execute /release and /renew and with this the client takes the correct fixed lease on green zone.

Hope I have been able to make myself understood, thanks for your time.
