I have a CentOS VM client, which should be getting a Reserved IP from my Rasbian dnsmasq server, however the client will only pull the same dynamic lease over and over again, instead of the IP I've configured for it.The full setup is as follows:CentOS 6.8 KVM Host (Dell R710)CentOS 6.8 VMRaspberry Pi running latest Pixel(?) versionThe Pi hosts the dnsmasq server for three subnets across my LAN, 192.168.0.0 (Home), 192.168.1.0 (Lab), 192.168.2.0 (Wifi)Everything works fine, no issues with DHCP or DNS that I've noticed.The CentOS KVM Host has a reserved DHCP address which works fine.A new CentOS VM (minimal image,Plex) has a reserved DHCP address which it REFUSES to take.I have tried reserving the IP with: dhcp-host=MACADDRESS,IPADDRESSordhcp-host=MACADDRESS,IPADDRESS,HOSTNAME.DOM.AINand also by specifying a dhcp-hostsfile and putting the same information in there.I've erased the offending dynamic lease from the dnsmasq server's /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leasesI've erased the VM client's /etc/dhcp/dhclient-eth0.conf and /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient.leases and dhclient-eth0.leasesEvery step of the way I've rundhclient -r eth0;ifdown eth0;ifup eth0or some similar combinationOh and I've double and triple checked that no outstanding leases have the same IP address, no other devices have stolen that IP, and the original machine with that IP is a dead Windows VMHere is a sample of log file entries from the dnsmasq server when dhclient -r;dhclient is runFeb  7 16:42:55 dnsmasq-dhcp[660]: 2347579967

It turned out to be a VLAN error on my part.I ended up creating a second bridge interface on the second ethernet port, tagged it onto the 192.168.2.0 VLAN, changed the VM to use the new bridge, and poof
