Lease assignment

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 3:56pm

I want my iPad on a specific ip

dhcp-host=CC:44:63:9D:42:EE,192.168.1.15,VEGASPRO

Seems pi hole is not honoring this

dnsmasq-dhcp[2874]: DHCPREQUEST(wlan0) 192.168.1.8 cc:44:63:9d:42:33 
Oct 13 09:52:24 dnsmasq-dhcp[2874]: DHCPACK(wlan0) 192.168.1.8 cc:44:63:9d:42:33 VegasPro

Oct 13 09:59:00 dnsmasq[2874]: 31117 127.0.0.1/33710 DHCP 192.168.1.8 is VegasPro.lan

Is DHCPREQUEST client asking wlan0 for an ip?

Where can i find the definition for DHCPREQUEST, offer,pack?

Is hostname and MAC address case sensitive

Do you have a static IP set in the iPad?

What event led to that section of your log - toggling WiFi on the iPad, etc.?

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 4:13pm

I have 3 static assignments .
Not sure what event led to that MAYBE I TURNED WIFI OFF AND ON?

jfb · October 13, 2018, 4:17pm

That is the Pi-Hole screen, where you have three static IP's assigned to three different devices.

On the iPad itself, under settings > WiFi, for the connected network, does the IPV4 address section show "configure IP" as "automatic?"

Here is an example screen on an iPhone:

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 4:18pm

YES i have automatic

jfb · October 13, 2018, 4:19pm

Put the iPad in airplane mode for a few seconds, then back to WiFi and renew the lease.

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 4:22pm

Received same ip after 60 seconds .

Airplane mode 60 seconds

Connected to WiFi and renew lease no luck

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 4:40pm

Here i see pihole giving .48

dnsmasq-dhcp[25518]: DHCPOFFER(wlan0) 192.168.1.48 cc:44:63:9d:42:33

Which is not what I had reserved

deHakkelaar · October 13, 2018, 5:56pm

Did you notice the MAC addresses are different ?
The one ending in EE and the other 33.

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 6:11pm

Thanks had not notice that

Fixed but getting different is now 02. Will wait to see if it fixes itself

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 6:37pm

what means address not available also is Mac address case sensitve ?

Oct 13 14:35:03 dnsmasq-dhcp[1212]: DHCPREQUEST(wlan0) 192.168.1.102 cc:44:63:9d:42:33
Oct 13 14:35:03 dnsmasq-dhcp[1212]: DHCPNAK(wlan0) 192.168.1.102 cc:44:63:9d:42:33 address not available
Oct 13 14:35:05 dnsmasq[1212]: 554 192.168.1.102/63670 query[A] e4478.a.akamaiedge.net from 192.168.1.102

deHakkelaar · October 13, 2018, 6:45pm

Maybe the 192.168.1.15 address is already taken.
Check current leases:

less /etc/pihole/dhcp.leases

And ping it to see if something is responding.

Most times it is.
Upper case for /etc/dnsmasq.d/04-pihole-static-dhcp.conf.

Run below one after you changed any to apply:

sudo service pihole-FTL reload

Soydepr · October 13, 2018, 7:08pm

thanks a lot .

I know what occurred when I pasted the Mac address in pi hole web 9D became 9d and strangely
2 other char changed .
now I change password on routers kick everyone out
and now assignments are working as desired and leasing is occurring as well

many thanks .
