Hello Brian, If you have too much DHCP traffic, you will need to consider to add more pfdhcplistener worker to cope with the load.
I will also advise you to upgrade to have more stability around that process because we changed some mechanism around that DHCP processing in the newer versions after PF 6.X Thanks, Ludovic Zammit Product Support Engineer Principal Cell: +1.613.670.8432 Akamai Technologies - Inverse 145 Broadway Cambridge, MA 02142 Connect with Us: <https://community.akamai.com/> <http://blogs.akamai.com/> <https://twitter.com/akamai> <http://www.facebook.com/AkamaiTechnologies> <http://www.linkedin.com/company/akamai-technologies> <http://www.youtube.com/user/akamaitechnologies?feature=results_main> > On Aug 15, 2022, at 3:28 PM, Cuttler, Brian R (HEALTH) via PacketFence-users > <packetfence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > > > 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 have done a lot of looking at our pfdhcplistener and it seems that it runs > rather sporadically, I sometimes see it run with a queue of a few hundred > items, and sometimes, now for instance, I see 15,000 items. > > I can clear the queue by restarting the dhcp listener service, but have no > idea what normally triggers it, or what I might do to get it to run every few > minutes or after a limited number of items are placed in the queue. > > Any suggestions would be welcome. > > Thank you, > > Brian > > > Brian Cuttler > > ITG - Information Technology Group, Network and System Administrator > Wadsworth Center, NYS Department of Health > Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12201 > (518) 486-1697 | brian.cutt...@health.ny.gov > <mailto:brian.cutt...@health.ny.gov> > > > _______________________________________________ > PacketFence-users mailing list > PacketFence-users@lists.sourceforge.net > <mailto:PacketFence-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users__;!!GjvTz_vk!T6yZCPN4nVHB6Uma-IzwWuDEYZ1ahi73lOYmqJij9jSjXVaad0RDTdIGJcTT4yHgxRWC8uepwXtZGzGigBhMkx9skSvZkdB_VdurJw$ > > <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/packetfence-users__;!!GjvTz_vk!T6yZCPN4nVHB6Uma-IzwWuDEYZ1ahi73lOYmqJij9jSjXVaad0RDTdIGJcTT4yHgxRWC8uepwXtZGzGigBhMkx9skSvZkdB_VdurJw$> >
