DHCP: Changing mac address in the system's system tab does not update the DHCP entries accordingly

Description

When we edit a system, ie renaming it, the DNS records are properly updated accordingly When we change the mac, it does not update the DHCP at all

We have to delete records in the DHCP tab (with the old mac) and recreate them.

Distribution Name and Version

RHEL 7

FusionDirectory Version

1.2-fixes

Plugin with the defect

DHCP

PHP version used

php5.4

Origin of php packages

epel/rhel channels

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Edit a system
  2. Change the mac address in the main tab
  3. Validate and check the dhcp config

Expected behavior:

DHCP config updated as the DNS does

Actual behavior:

Nothing happens

Reproduces how often: Always

Additional Information

It may be great to check the IP change as well but it may not be a good idea according to where the host is attached. We attach our hosts to defined groups, but you may want to attach them to their respective subnets, and then it may scramble the config breaking DHCP Server if the new ip is not in the orginal subnet anymore.
