Hi there.

Trying to debug a network malfunction apparently (initially) related to
a bad network card, I see this:

The network interface shows this:

"""
# ifconfig rge0
rge0:
flags=1001104843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,ROUTER,IPv4,FIXEDMTU>
mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 176.9.11.11 netmask ffffffe0 broadcast 176.9.11.31
        ether 14:da:e9:b8:48:60
"""

I am surprised about the DHCP flag in the interface. The card has a
static IP address. Now I am suspecting a problem with DHCP leases, but
this card should not be running DHCP.

My /usbkey/config is:

"""
#
# This file was auto-generated and must be source-able by bash.
#

admin_nic=14:da:e9:b8:48:60
admin_ip=176.9.11.11
headnode_default_gateway=176.9.11.1

dns_resolvers=213.133.98.98,213.133.99.99
dns_domain=jcea.es

ntp_hosts=0.smartos.pool.ntp.org
compute_node_ntp_hosts=dhcp

hostname=xXx

root_authorized_keys_file=authorized_keys
etherstub=hubjcea0
"""

In this configuration the only DHCP key is "compute_node_ntp_hosts". I
wonder what is the meaning of it, what would be the appropriate value
and if this setting is related to the DHCP flag in rge0.

I can reboot the node if instructed, but I would like to have a good
case/reason first.

What about the FIXEDMTU flag?. Where is that set? Should I care about it?

Thanks for your time and effort!
