Hello,
I'm running the latest 3.1.1 in failover mode.
I've upgraded from 3.0.3
I got the following message.
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:1c:23:15:2e:c7 via aaa.bbb.ccc.252: peer holds all
free leases
After spending a lot of time watching the lease file content, the
failover protocol and so on, (and found no problems)
pool {
failover peer "dhcp";
deny dynamic bootp clients;
deny members of "win2k-clients";
range aaa.bbb.ccc.151 aaa.bbb.ccc.160;
default-lease-time 57600;
max-lease-time 61200;
min-lease-time 7200;
}
I appear that the 00:1c:23:15:2e:c7 client belongs to the denied class
win2k-clients.
So the logged message is misleading and scary for the admin and
monitoring scripts ;-)
Is this a configuration issue?
Regards.
Daniel.
