--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-client Version: 4.1.1-P1-9 Severity: normal Hi, I may have a misbehaving DHCP server : -- $ cat /var/log/daemon.log.1 /var/log/daemon.log 2>/dev/null | grep dhclient | cut -d':' -f4- | uniq -c 18225 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 1 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 1 DHCPACK from 82.224.x.y 1 bound to 82.224.z.p -- renewal in 249667 seconds. 15075 DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to 82.224.x.y port 67 # dhcping -v -s 255.255.255.255 Got answer from: 82.224.x.y received from 82.224.x.y, expected from 255.255.255.255 no answer # dhcping -v -s 82.224.x.y no answer -- My ISP's DHCP server gives a 3-day lease. When this leases expires, dhclient sends a DHCP request to the known server but the server seems to only answer on broadcast 255.255.255.255. As a result, my logs ar filling with DHCPREQUESTs for three days every 6 days. dhclient should handle this case (request on broadcast after a number of unanswered requests). Feel free to ask for more info.
