[CentOS] what does "not found" mean in a DHCPRELEASE context?
I have a CentOS 4.6 server running dhcpd. One of my client devices (a Panasonic KX-HCM280A camera) is trying to get a lease from that server. I can see the device accept a lease (it is a reservation), however it always releases the reservation after about 25 seconds: Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.31.14.13 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.31.14.13 (172.31.0.1) from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:30:49 stargate dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.31.14.13 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 10 10:31:16 stargate dhcpd: DHCPRELEASE of 172.31.14.13 from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 (not found) If I remove the reservation and reset the camera, it does the same thing with a dynamic lease; however in that case the message is Jul 3 09:48:05 stargate dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.31.9.91 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.31.9.91 (172.31.0.1) from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:06 stargate dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.31.9.91 to 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 Jul 3 09:48:19 stargate dhcpd: DHCPRELEASE of 172.31.9.91 from 00:80:f0:56:46:30 via eth0 (found) ...ie "(found)" instead of "(not found)". I should mention that I have several other cameras of the same type which are working, so this is most assuredly a problem with the camera itself, but I was still wondering: Does anyone know what dhcpd (or the device) is trying to tell me with this message? -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | dave at xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

The second log entry would be the server seeing that it had leased that IP out to the system and released it. nate
