Open VPN Static IP on client side

The configuration outlined in below sketch actually works for "client 1" as long as it is configured with dynamic IP like the other clients in the setup. As soon as I try to assign a static IP to "client 1" though, it stops working properly. I can see the server from 'client 1' but I won't see the remaining clients as I would if 'client 1' was connected with a dynamic setup.

Use ccd files to send specific IP to that client keeping dhcp mode, or use in client config option "ifconfig-noexec" and set static IP.
