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.

This is old log, with eth0 in place

Any idea on what can it be?
