Thread: "inactive" reservation

    "inactive" reservation

    We are running DHCP on a 2003 enterprise in our domain. Each scope has
    reservations for network printers. Some of the printers are configured as
    bootp, while others have static entries. While looking at the various address
    leases, I see that the printers which were set up with static IP's are
    showing Reservation (inactive). This under the column "Lease Expiration" The
    printers are working fine across the network. Can someone tell me why the
    "inactive" is coming up?

    thanks

    Re: "inactive" reservation

    A reservation means that a when a particular device (MAC) requests an
    address, it will always get the assigned IP. Since you've manually set the
    printer to use a static IP, it is never sending a bootp request to the DHCP
    server and therefor the DHCP has never assigned a lease, thus showing it as
    inactive.

    An Exclusion is usually used where a device will be manually set to an IP
    address within your DHCP scope.
