Duplicate dhcp-host IP address Error

[cdikland]

For my Asus Ac68U running Merlin FW 378.52_2, I created a dhcp-hostsfile via:

echo "dhcp-hostsfile=/jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases" >> /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add

Into which I added

echo "18:B4:30:02:5D:FC,Nest-Thermostat,192.168.1.200,infinite" >> /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases
echo "EC:1A:59:68:5D:19,Hallway-Motion,192.168.1.201,72m" >> /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases
echo "08:86:3b:6e:0f:0d,CatRm-Motion,192.168.1.202,72m" >> /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases
echo "ec:1a:59:68:d8:19,LR-Corner-Lamp,192.168.1.203,72m" >> /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases

When I reboot the router the system log shows the following error for each entry

Dec 31 19:00:38 dnsmasq[673]: duplicate dhcp-host IP address 192.168.1.200 at line 1 of /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases

Dec 31 19:00:38 dnsmasq[673]: duplicate dhcp-host IP address 192.168.1.203 at line 4 of /jffs/etc/dnsmasq/static_leases

Anyone have any idea why or what I may be doing wrong.

Hmm, not sure. However have you tired creating DHCP reservation. This way whenever they come online they will have same address and stay that way.

Actual each of the above is also within the DHCP reservation list as well.

If you are adding clients via a hosts file, delete the manual assignments in the router gui.
