    After more testing here and will test on a old series here is what is meant to happen

    DHCP table subnet full

    IP lease expires for clients

    I new client what to connect 

    Zywall tests a IP that has been expired by ARP to that IP

    If no reply client get IP.

    So maybe you have something making a ARP reply back to Zywall?



    We use this ZW DHCP net for maintenance/configuration devices. And device online less then 1 day. So in can't be, that all expired devices were online and send arp answer.

    If devices are stall online sending arp reply then zywall when DHCP is full can't give out any IP's

    Devices have to be off line for zywall to give out a IP to a new device that was in use.

    I understand. And i sure, that devices are offline and don't answer to ARP.

    Maybe a Wireshark showing ARP ports 67 and 68 from the zywall of a client trying to get a IP might help.

    Could you capture the packet and collect the diag-info when this behavior occurs? ( Maintenace > Diagnostic > Controller > Collect Now)

    There is a slight behaviour difference between V5.35 and V4.73

    The V5.35 with a lease of 2min then PC shutdwon will remove after some hours from the list where as V4.73 just stays listed.

    Both don't match the configuration.
    I'm expecting at the end of the lease (configured) wiping the macaddress from DHCP lease list.
    5.35 is unfortunate.
    4.73 is unacceptable.

    Hi @PeterUK, 
    Even if device is offline, DHCP will still be in the table. This is the expected behavior. After the next client goes online, it will take the IP which have expired in the table.
    @alexey, 
    Please kindly reduce lease time from 5 days to 2days and increase pool size. 
    Thank you
    Kevin
