DHCPD not sending NACK to client
Posted: 2019/09/23 14:46:52
First off, I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this. I've been configuring DHCPD for IPv6 and I'm running into an issue where clients are not getting a NACK from the server if they previously had an address in a different subnet. So for example, I have a client on 2620:56:6000:406::/64 that was previously on 2620:56:6000:417::/64 and had a valid IP for that network. The server isn't sending a NACK saying that the addresss is an invalid IP for the current network and so the client assumes that it can use the address.
From my understanding the authoritative flag is what is supposed to perform this function but it doesn't appear to be doing that from wireshark captures I've taken. The client in question is running MacOS. Both Windows and Linux clients appear to ignore the missing NACK and request a new address anyway. I'm including the relevant portions of my DHCP config below. I've tried asking about this on the ISC DHCP-Users mailing list but got no response.
