S YSTEM V ERIFICATION
Verifying DHCP: Proxy Client
If you do not see this message in the report log, the DHCP Proxy Client has successfully
performed its initialization processing.
If this message is contained in the report log, refer to DHCP Proxy Client Initialization in the
Problem Diagnosis chapter.
V ERIFYING THE P ROXY C LIENT IS E NABLED
If the Proxy Client has been enabled via configuration, a relevant message will appear in the report
log.
1. Examine the report log. Type:
dr
2. Look for any messages that begin with [DHCP-P].
3. If the Proxy Client has been enabled via configuration, the following message should appear:
[DHCP-P] Proxy Client enabled
If the above message was found in the report log, the Proxy Client has been successfully
enabled.
If an error occurred while trying to enable the Proxy Client, the following message will be
present in the report log:
[DHCP-P] Failed to register with the IP Address Pool Manager,
erc=
If this error message is found in the report log, refer to Enabling the Proxy Client in the Problem
Diagnosis chapter.
V ERIFYING THE P ROXY C LIENT IS O PERATIONAL
Once the DHCP Proxy Client manager has been successfully initialized and enabled, it should
begin obtaining IP addresses from DHCP servers. The manager examines any WAN and WAN
(Direct Host) network interfaces. It then attempts to satisfy the “number of IP addresses to pre-
fetch” for each of these network interfaces.
UDP P ORTS
In order to reach DHCP servers, the DHCP Proxy Client will open the BOOTPC UDP port, and
possibly the BOOTPS UDP port. One or both of the following messages should then appear in the
report log:
[DHCP-P] UDP port (67) opened
[DHCP-P] UDP port (68) opened
If neither of these error messages is found in the report log, refer to DHCP Proxy Client Operation in
the Problem Diagnosis chapter.
