OcNOS-RON : Troubleshooting Guide : DHCP Client and Relay
DHCP Client and Relay
This chapter contains steps to resolve DHCP client and relay issues.
 
Symptom/Cause
Solution
DHCP client does not get an IP address after a request to server
The dhclient process may not be running for the input interface, look for the dhclient process “ps –aef” at the :inux prompt.
Look for the error messages in /var/log/message.
DHCP packet loss
Capture packets on interested interfaces on the client/server side.
Enable dhclient and dhcp (server) in debug mode to get messages (error or pkt info)
