Duid got changed due to os reinstall, even after updating dhcp config file pi not getting hostid I set

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hello,

I have below in /etc/config/dhcp and I was getting correct IPv6 address (ending with 95) before client OS crash.

config host
        option dns '1'
        option name 'pinas'
        option mac 'D8:3A:DD:28:07:10'
        option ip '192.168.0.195'
        option leasetime '6h'
        option duid '00047eb6dfb92da165e3fc32139edb310989'
        option hostid '95'

The client's OS crashed today and had to reinstall and I noticed duid got changed. So I updated the new duid in /etc/config/dhcp and did /etc/init.d/dnsmasq reload and restarted the client.
But its still not getting IPv6 address ending 95.

Any thoughts?

Check that DUID and MAC address are correct.

restart DNS:

service dnsmasq stop
service dnsmasq start

Reboot the client

Tried that too.

I verified that MAC address and DUID is correct.

Should I try remove the current Static Lease and click Set Static button on static page?
And then edit the static lease and change hostid from 862 to 95 ?

I tried clicking Set Static from status page, It just stuck on spinning.

Then I tried doing same for some other, and they get added fine.
Something off with this entry alone.

Finally worked.

I powered off the client
deleted the current static lease.
restarted the router.
Added the static lease again to /etc/config/dhcp
restarted router
powered on client and it got the correct IPv6 address.

I don't know for sure which of above really made it work

I would say lines
1

In that order fixed the problem.

Your first try you restarted them individually but you never killed the whole network at the same time to force everything to start from scratch.
