Macro Change Not Propagated to Client

You have changed one or more macros for a client with dhtadm, but the changes are not evident on your machine. For example, you changed the client's router, but the client is still using the old router.

Use the information below to solve the problem of changed client macros not showing up on the DHCP server.

Problem

The DHCP server was not reinitialized to read your changes to the dhcptab table. This must be done every time you change a macro definition.

Solution: Use the rescan option-set with dhcpconfig, or:

Reinitialize the DHCP server:

1. Log in to the DHCP server as root.

2. Enter:

   /etc/init.d/dhcp stop

3. Restart the DHCP daemon by entering:

   /etc/init.d/dhcp start
