The following are possible IP address allocation errors and solutions:
The DHCP network table might have been deleted by mistake. Recreate the DHCP network table by adding the network again using the dhcpmgr utility or the pntadm command.
Determine the correct ownership of the address, and correct either the DHCP server database or the host’s network configuration.
Use the dhcpmgr utility or the pntadm command to view the DHCP network table. If the IP address is missing, create it with the DHCP Manager (select Create from the Edit menu on the Address tab) or use the pntadm command.
Use the dhcpmgr utility or the pntadm command to view the DHCP network table and, if the IP address is missing, create it with the dhcpmgr utility (select Create from the Edit menu on the Address tab) or use the pntadm command.
Use the DHCP Manager or the pntadm command to make the address usable.
Use the DHCP Manager or the pntadm command to make the address usable, or manually allocate a different address to the client.
Use the DHCP Manager or the pntadm command to modify IP addresses to remove the additional manual allocations.
Use the DHCP Manager or the pntadm command to create new IP addresses for this network.
The client restarts the protocol to obtain a new lease.
The client issues another discover message. If this request times out, increase the cache-offer timeout for the DHCP server. In the DHCP Manager, select Modify from the Service menu.
Update the client software.
This problem occurs if you delete a client’s record while the client is still using the IP address. Use the DHCP Manager or the pntadm command to examine the network table, and correct if necessary. The client’s ID should be bound to the specified IP address. If it is not, edit the address properties to add the client ID. To enable the client to receive a new lease immediately, restart the DHCP agent on the client by typing the commands: # ifconfig interface dhcp release # ifconfig interface dhcp start |
