Hello, I am working on an SG300-28P that is doing dhcp for a vlan. The network pool is showing the number of leased addresses is equal to the size of the DHCP scope in the settings. But when I look at the address bindings, there are plenty of leases showing as in the expired state. New devices aren't able to get any ip addresses on the network. I had to manually delete the addresses from the address binding table.
I am missing something here? Shouldn't IP addresses showing as expired be available for assignment to a new device attaching to the network? Or is there some sort of grace period after an address lease is expired before it can be handed out again by the DHCP server and, if so, what is that grace period?
As an FYI, I am running the latest firmware 1.3.7.18.
