I use Centos-7 server for assigning MAC/IP. But some times users get other IP addresses.

My dhcpd.conf

authoritative;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.254;option domain-name "dhcp.local";option routers 192.168.1.1; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; max-lease-time 7200;option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;}

include "/etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/dhcp_clients.conf";

allow booting;
allow bootp;
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
next-server 192.168.10.1;
filename "pxelinux.0";

In /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d/dhcp_clients.conf I have

host User.userlaptop {hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;fixed-address 192.168.1.34;}

What is happening here? Why it misbehaves?

Thanks in advance

    Have you verified which MAC address the user had when he tried to get an IP address? Some users like to use MAC-changers...

    Next step is to reproduce it, while listening with wireshark or dhcpdump. dhcping may also help. "Sometimes", "without any software tools" is a bit vague.
