DHCP Ignoring Request Message¶

When using an external DHCP server the logs on DRP show a message about ignoring DHCP request.

[12:07] xid 0x131b7f62: Ignoring request for DHCP server 10.218.15.1   dhcp dhcp.go:682

Solution¶

PXE/iPXE booting may or may not be working and you see the following message:

[TIME] xid HEXVALUE: Ignoring request for DHCP server <IP>     dhcp dhcp.go:LINENO

This message is going to be logged when our DHCP logging level is set to at least Warn. You can set the log level to Error or if you are not using us as a DHCP server at all you can also start DRP with the --disable-dhcp flag. This message is not an error. It is expected, and is safe to ignore. What it is saying is that the DHCP server within DRP is ignoring a request, which is what you want when you are not using it as the DHCP server.

You can change the log level from the UX by going to the Info & Prefs page, and selecting Error for the DHCP logging level, and saving your changes.

You can change the log level from the CLI as well by running the following command:

drpcli prefs set debugDHCP "error"

Additional Information¶

Additional cli flags may be needed to set the drp endpoint, username, or password. See drpcli help text (eg [drpcli --help]{.title-ref}) for more options.
