Devices frequently requesting ip addresses
-
I'm seeing a lot of devices in our DHCP logs doing the following:
Mar 14 16:11:47 dhcpd DHCPACK on 10.0.2.123 to 70:3e:ac:45:20:fe (TeddyHensiPhone) via igb0_vlan2
Mar 14 16:11:47 dhcpd DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.2.123 from 70:3e:ac:45:20:fe (TeddyHensiPhone) via igb0_vlan2
Mar 14 16:11:47 dhcpd reuse_lease: lease age 8288 (secs) under 25% threshold, reply with unaltered, existing lease for 10.0.2.123and
Mar 14 16:40:02 dhcpd DHCPACK on 10.0.1.52 to 08:66:98:9e:d3:34 (Apple-TV-2) via igb0
Mar 14 16:40:02 dhcpd DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.1.52 from 08:66:98:9e:d3:34 (Apple-TV-2) via igb0
Mar 14 16:40:02 dhcpd reuse_lease: lease age 6487 (secs) under 25% threshold, reply with unaltered, existing lease for 10.0.1.52Anybody know why this might be happening? All the ones I've looked at so far seem to be apple devices. The Apple-TV-2 device in particular is doing this every minute! We've tried rebooting some of these devices and it still happens.
It doesn't seem to be causing any issues, but it is strange…

Are these devices in standby or something?
Devices will sometimes try and update their lease while they are on standby every so often..
Dhcp server is saying hey your lease is not yet 50% expired.. Come back and ask for a new lease when you hit the 50% mark - for now.. just use that lease.
