Page 33 | AlliedWare™ OS How To Note: DHCP snooping on AT-9900-style switches
Troubleshooting > The DHCP ACK is dropped by the switch
Another possibility for dropping an ACK is when there is already an entry for the port in the
DHCP snooping database.
In the example above, a client on port 2 has attempted a DHCP request but the server’s
ACK was dropped by the switch because there is already an entry on port 2. The entry on
port 2 is static. Even though the server offered the same IP to the same MAC (as appears in the
DHCP snooping database) the static entry causes the DHCP process to not be completed.
