Question

HI,

 

  I have a cluster of 2 X 100D running 5.4.4.  DHCP stop giving IP to PC last week, it did not look like pool was exausted.  Did not find anything in the system log.  I ended up rebooting the master and it did solve the problem.  Today exactly 7 days after problem is showing up again.  Rebooting the master solved the problem... i'm afraid till next week.  Look like the DHCP stop working and last week I noticed wifi client where affected as well ( different interface but FGT also DHCP server ).

 

Any idea ?

Thanks!

How many did you see in "exe dhcp lease-list" against the number of available IPs? Was there a wide margin?

Have you tried "exe dhcp lease-clear" instead of rebooting it, then did it solve for one week?

Looking at the know bugs in 5.4.4 I found:

 

377192: DHCP request after lease expires is sent with former unicast IP instead of 0.0.0.0 as source.

 

Not sure of the implication...  My lease is 172800 ( 48 hours ) so I would be expecting to have the issue after 48 hours not 7 days ? 

 

Bommi : is that what you are refering to or you know something else ?

Hi Teche,

 

are there any DHCPACK messages in the system log after 7 days before you restart?

Relay or Server Mode?

 

Regards
