    Hello guys!

    Please tell me who faced this problem below in log dhcp_logfile on Juniper EX4600
    , periodically there is such an error in the dhcp relay service:

    [ERROR] jdhcpd_security_packet_handle: Interface >ae1.0< packet_flags:201

    And this packet drop

     

    > show dhcp relay statistics
    Packets dropped:
    Total 5488
    Bootp packets 2
    Interface not configured 2751
    Send error 2730
    No binding found 5

    My dhcp-relay configuration:

    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay forward-snooped-clients all-interfaces
    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides allow-snooped-clients
    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides always-write-giaddr
    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides bootp-support
    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides send-release-on-delete
    set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides delete-binding-on-renegotiation

    Why do such errors occur in the dhcp server log?

    Hi Dmitriy MT,

     

    What's the Junos version on the EX? You can troubleshoot as follows:

     

    a) Please check and share the DHCP packets received on the interfaces ae1, ae4 - think you can capture them with "monitor traffic interface ae1 no-resolve" and "monitor traffic interface ae4 no-resolve".

    b) What does the DHCP server config look like, is this only IPv4 server? One instance these errors may be seen if you have a DHCPv4 server but also receiving DHCPv6 requests from clients.

    c) Which of those drop counters from the dhcp relay statistics are actually incrementing when you see the log message? Perhaps take a snapshot before the logs to contrast after.

    d) Check if any jdhcpd core-dumps from "show system core-dumps".

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Regards,
    -r.

    Hello,  

    a) Does this not entail a switch load? The traffic on the switch is large, will this command cause overload and denial of service?

    b) Server configured only on IPv4

    c) To date, statistics such

    center@kmrt-ex4600-406> show dhcp relay statistics
    Packets dropped:
        Total                      6334
        Bootp packets              2
