Suddenly getting "DHCP Server rejected the request of the client" for multiple Fixed IP clients
Suddenly getting "DHCP Server rejected the request of the client" for multiple Fixed IP clients
I have a flat single LAN network with no other DHCP servers, and even have the LAN VLAN configured with "Legal DHCP Servers" set to the IP of the ER707 IP (192.168.4.1). Starting with in the last week or two, multiple clients (but only a few out of ~100) have started to be given an IP address other than what they are configured for, which is causing problems since they have some IP-specific policies that then break. When this happens, I cannot ping, or see anything else active, on the IP address they are supposed to receive via DHCP from the router, so it is not that the IP is in use. Also, as soon as I reboot the ER707 the problem fixes itself for a while at least and the devices resume being assigned their correct configured Fixed IP. In the even log I see logs like this - note that 4.81 is configured as the Fixed IP for this MAC (and I have even now set it as an IP-MAC binding to see if that would help, it did not):

I will attach screenshots of the relevant configuration. This only recently started happening, but I am not sure exactly when it first began. I did somewhat recently update the controller to 5.15.20.16, and also updated two of my Omada switches to fix a different bug:

Hi @Julian2111
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
Recommend you create a new thread regarding this matter.
Specify the firmware. And if possible, you can Wireshark, let me know the result on the DHCP interaction.
As I recall 7412-M2 is not catching up the troop of the Omada firmware. Lags several versions behind.

@Clive_A I see the ER707-M2 V1 1.3.0 Build 20250428 Pre-Release Firmware is out, however, I don't see anything about DHCP in the fixes - was this issue fixed in this release:

It's fixed in this version. Confirmed with the dev.
