Hello,
we have to repair some embedded systems with mac addresses within a
specific range.
These system needs bootp to get flashed some special software.
So i configured the following entries (Dnsmasq version 2.40):
dhcp-host=00:9a:7e:8f:*:*,net:embeddeds,embed,10m
Imho the device, who fits to the mac range, will receive the address for
embed with a lease time of 10 minutes
Also i have a bootp entry:
dhcp-boot=net:embeddeds,embed_factory.flash,embed,192.168.1.83
Everything works well with one system but the address won't be released
after 10 minutes.
When i replace the system with another one from the mac range i get the
following error:
dnsmasq[21376]: BOOTP(eth23) 192.168.1.119 00:9a:7e:8f:19:5a address
in use
I always have to remove the lease entry manually from
/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases and restart dnsmasq to get the new system
running, independently from how long i wait.
