WAN DHCP-messages filling System log
-
Hello!
Running pfsense 1.2.3-RELEASE appliance in a VMWARE session on a win2008 r2-machine.
I have a small issue regarding DHCP on the WAN-interface.
I'm getting this in the system log all the time:
"Nov 15 20:14:30 dhclient[1801]: SENDING DIRECT
Nov 15 20:18:13 dhclient[1801]: DHCPREQUEST on le1 to 90.130.64.38 port 67
Nov 15 20:18:13 dhclient[1801]: SENDING DIRECT
Nov 15 20:25:26 dhclient[1801]: DHCPREQUEST on le1 to 90.130.64.38 port 67
Nov 15 20:25:26 dhclient[1801]: SENDING DIRECT
Nov 15 20:29:20 dhclient[1801]: DHCPREQUEST on le1 to 90.130.64.38 port 67
Nov 15 20:29:20 dhclient[1801]: SENDING DIRECT"Is this something to be worried about?
It seems that the router wants to get a new lease all the time?

What DHCP lease time does the server specify?
If the server responded to the DHCP request I would expect it to be logged. (But the absence of a log entry doesn't mean the server isn't responding)? Is the server responding? If not, why not?

Seems that this error ocurred because of I forgot to disable the "Open WAN Rule" that comes with the appliance.
Disabled it and now the error doesn't appear anymore.
