I can't imagine why a system would be configured for fixed IP and yet have an ostensible DHCP configuration file at all, much less specifying static configuration parameters. Does that installation also have /etc/sysconfig/interfaces, and if so, is it last written subsequent to /etc/dhcpd.conf?

This is for me an unknown novelty. It > has some advantage over the interfaces file? For the first time since Hermine, I booted host g5eas, which has both 16.04 and Jessie. Both are configured with static IP. Both have /etc/sysconfig/interfaces. Neither have /etc/dhcpd.conf. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
