Public bug reported: Hi,
I'm suffering something that's strange. I think it's related to dhcp but really don't know. I configured my server to use dhcp so it can receive dns updates and ip on each boot. Among using PXE with maas for booting. The problem is that I found that it looses network access from time to time. The only way to recover the network is by doing ifdown br0 && ifup br0. Since this is a virtualization server everytime I do this, the virtual machines loose also the network so I have to restart each one. I tried to change to another switch/router because I suspected that link is broken from time to time and this caused dhcpd to rerun, broking the configuration given at boot. It made no change. I changed the interface to which br0 is bridged from eth0 (internal asus motherboard link) to eth2 (intel PRO card pci/e). It made no change. So I'm lost on what's the problem. I've just changed the configuration to static ip and it seems to work now, but I have to test it more, and with heavy load.
