Hrm.. not sure what that would look like either..  I guess if it's using
libpcap that likely means the port is in promiscuous mode..  tcpdump
doesn't show up on netstat, so this likely won't either.

I have tried tcpdump on the management interface, though, to see if I'm
getting dhcp traffic...  And I'm not seeing anything, which I find a tad
odd ...  But, I think the issue is on the Cisco side..  I'm betting that
if you have the cisco router handing out DHCP you can't also have an ip
helper-address..  I can see from debug output on the router that it's
just not forwarding the traffic, so...

Damn.. this means I need to build a dhcp server...  earlier than I
wanted to..  More work, more work.

Do I lose any major features beyond logging if I don't have the dhcp
requests forwarded?

space.”
