When a DHCP server is enabled on the PoE ports of FortiGate 140E, the FortiGate may intermittently fail to send a DHCP Offer, resulting in IP assignment issues.
Sample Configuration:
config system interface edit "port15" set vdom "root" set ip 192.168.90.1 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess ping fabric set device-identification enable set type physical set snmp-index 50 next
config system dhcp server edit 3 set lease-time 3600 set default-gateway 192.168.90.1 set netmask 255.255.255.0 set interface "port15" config ip-range edit 1 set start-ip 192.168.90.2 set end-ip 192.168.90.254 next end set timezone-option default next
The DHCP Offer appears in the 'dhcps' debug logs and in packet captures on the FortiGate interface, however, this packet is not seen in the Wireshark Captures of the user machine.

 This issue has been resolved in FortiOS version 7.4.7 (available in support portal).
Workaround: Switch to a non-PoE port.
