check for the drop-packet-capture for the port 67 or port 68 and look for the DoS category in the drop logs

 ok, 
and I think that it is the firewall that is renewing the IP, 
since I disconnected the network cable from the PC concerned, but the firewall continues to renew the IP for the same PC
so Dos bupass rule can stop the renewing from FW?
Thanks & Regards,

0 Vivek Jagad 5 months ago in reply to Sofos network

but first need to validate if there is a flooding happening on the port 68,

ref:

Packet capture using KBA: https://support.sophos.com/support/s/article/KB-000037007?language=en_US

Collect the drop packet using KBA: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/20.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/CommandLineHelp/DeviceConsole/index.html#drop-packet-capture

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sofos network It looks like there is a DHCP flood from a specific machine and it seems the network device is continuously producing lease requests because of a malfunction. After disconnecting the network cable of the concerned PC you may reboot the firewall once (at your most convenient time) which will clear pending DHCP operations and the CPU will be back to normal. Regarding the scenario of DHCP request flood, scaling or improving SF OS DHCP service handling with such DHCP flood is currently a backlog work at Product Management.
