[INFO-109] Dhcp client not running - restarted

Hello, all,

First of all, apologies if this is a discussion somewhere else; I looked but couldn't find anything.

I keep getting "[INFO-109] Dhcp client not running -not working/restarted" a few times a day. I'm running home version 9.711-5 on a UTM 220 appliance. I found a post from about 2 years ago which states "This is fixed in 9.706 and investigate under NUTM-12045" but still happening with me.

I have several devices connected, but not near the 50 licensed. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Miguel.

  • Hello ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the community, is your appliance deployed in HA or standalone mode ?

    Can you share the output of the following:

    ps aux | grep dhcp
    cat /var/log/selfmon.log
    # cat /var/mdw-debug.log
    version 
    rpm -qa | grep dhcp
    # cat /var/mdw/scripts/dhcpd

    Thanks & Regards,

    • Vivek,

      Thank you very much for your reply. Please see the output of the commands below:

      Additionally, the below was gathered from one of the DHCP events. I believe this happened with the ISP so, not sure if the issue is on that side.

    • The DHCP client not running is still going. Any ideas?
