We are seeing that our Packetfence is sometimes missing IP address information 
for entries.

We are running v6.5.1 on a Centos 7.0 virtual platform.

I found bug 0001419 which appears to be an exact match for our issue, but is 
closed and should not apply to our PF version.

The platform with our dhcp server is running the udp reflector to the IP of the 
PF server's management port 1443.

Restarting the dhcp listener I find the following for our management interface.

Jul 20 11:23:39 pfdhcplistener(30191) INFO: pfdhcplistener_ens32 starting and 
writing 30191 to /usr/local/pf/var/run/pfdhcpli
stener_ens32.pid (pf::services::util::createpid)
Jul 20 11:23:39 pfdhcplistener(30191) WARN: Unable to open VLAN proc

il::get_vlan_from_int)
Jul 20 11:23:39 pfdhcplistener(30191) INFO: DHCP detector on ens32 enabled 
(main::)

Beyond notices of listern startup there is no other information in the 
pfdhcplistener file.

The management interface is not vlan tagged.

ens32: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet 10.50.156.54  netmask 255.255.254.0  broadcast 10.50.157.255

There is output when I tcpdump the interface for our management port.

tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

11:50:43.678382 IP cedar.wadsworth.org.38130 > pkfn7.wadsworth.org.ies-lm: UDP,

Any guidance on properly populating the PF database would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Brian
