• assign a valid fixed-address for the network the host is connecting to.
• make the name in the host declaration unique.
When a name given in a host declaration is not unique, the DHCP daemon fails to start, and an error
such as the following is logged to /var/log/messages:
dhcpd: /etc/dhcpd.conf line 31: host interface0: already exists
dhcpd: }
dhcpd: ^
dhcpd: Configuration file errors encountered -- exiting
This error was caused by having multiple host interface0 declarations defined in /etc/
dhcpd.conf.
