Hi Nevins
Thanks for your reply.
The post really helped.
DHCP has not assigned that IP address on another device. I used the command below to check
show dhcp server binding
5 clients, (0 bound, 0 selecting, 0 renewing, 5 rebinding)
IP address Hardware address Type Lease expires at
10.20.32.31 90:00:00:01:00:01 active 2009-01-17 11:38:47 PST
10.20.32.33 90:00:00:02:00:01 active 2009-01-17 11:38:41 PST
10.20.32.34 90:00:00:03:00:01 active 2009-01-17 11:38:01 PST
10.20.32.35 90:00:00:04:00:01 active 2009-01-17 11:38:07 PST
10.20.32.46 90:00:00:05:00:01 active 2009-01-17 11:38:47 PST
And YES the static address falls into the DHCP range.
I dont know if its the firewall services within the JUNOS that is blocking this.
As a work-around, i forced the host to acquire the IP i want dynamically by using the commands below.
However, i am still looking at a final solution. Why can't i use static IPs?
show configuration system services dhcp
