Short Syntax:
DHC.001 pkt alloc fld
Long Syntax:
DHC.001 failed to allocate packet for transmission
Description:
DHCP client tried to allocate a packet (I/O request block) to transmit a request, but none was available. It tries to recover and transmit after some time.

Level:
CI-ERROR
Short Syntax:
DHC.002 mem alloc fld, client/parsedPkt/options/lease/timeoutStruct
Long Syntax:
DHC.002 failed to allocate memory for client/parsedPkt/options/lease/timeoutStruct

DHCP client has failed to allocate memory for the specified structure. The packet is dropped.

DHC.003

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
DHC.003 drop pkt, reason , net networkId
Long Syntax:
DHC.003 drop the packet due to reason on net networkId
Description:
A DHCP packet has been received on a particular interface. Either the IP interface for that net could not be found, or the interface is not configured for dynamic address assignment, or the packet is not a valid DHCP packet, i.e., length may not be right.

DHC.004

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
DHC.004 opt optionNum len optionLength overflows buf, from serverAddr net networkID
Long Syntax:
DHC.004 Option optionNum length optionLength overflows input buffer, from serverAddr on net networkID
Description:
A DHCP packet has been received on a particular interface. The packet is discarded as the specified option length is greater than the input buffer size.

DHC.005

Level:
U-INFO
Short Syntax:
DHC.005 discard packetType , not this xaction, cur xid clientXID , rcv xid receivedXID , from serverId net networkId
Long Syntax:
DHC.005 discard packetType , not this transaction, cur xid clientXID , rcv xid receivedXID , from serverId net networkId
Description:
A DHCP reply was received. We are unable to relay the reply to the client due to the stated reason. The DHCP reply is discarded.
Cause:
Since DHCP OFFER and ACK packets are broadcast, it is possible for us to receive DHCP packets meant for other clients on the same network. If the received XID does not match ours, we just discard the packet.

UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
DHC.006 bad pkt type pktType frm serverIPAddr , net networkId
Long Syntax:
DHC.006 bad packet type pktType from serverIPAddr , net networkId

Description:
We have received a NAK packet while there is no active lease. The packet is discarded.

DHC.011

Level:

DHC.012

Level:
UE-ERROR

Long Syntax:
DHC.015 error code outputErrorCode when sending packet out net network
Description:

Long Syntax:
DHC.017 Queue overflow on packet from source_ip_address for destination_ip_address from net network ID
Description:
This message is generated when the DHCP client must discard a packet because of an input queue overflow. Note that this event does not get counted in ELS, it is instead counted in the DHC console. The counters (kept per input network) can be read using the DHCP Client>COUNTERS command.
