I see that the DHCP server assigns same ip address to multiple clients, even though there is free addresses to lease. what could be the reason, how to correct it? thanks

P.S. sorry bad english

I believe, by default, Cisco pings the address twice before assigning it to another computer. This could be an ios bug... Can you post the config of one of your pools? For example, vlan 40?

ip dhcp pool accounting_new
 network 192.168.190.0 255.255.255.0
 default-router 192.168.190.1
 dns-server 192.168.0.1 192.168.1.3
 lease 0 8
!

Anyway, As I know, router shuld not write same ip address in binding table.

thanks for reply

 

I might suggest a tac case to see if they can point you to a potential bug in the ios....
