Fixes & Changes

  • N/A


Known Issues

  • DHCP Server function on a newly configured LAN interface may, in rare occasions, fail to provide IP address to a device on that LAN.

Workaround: if a user sees this problem, a reboot on OpEdge-8D will resolve it.


  • DHCP server may become unresponsive temporarily when DHCP Discover packet with protocol anomaly is received.

Workaround: DHCP Server function recovers after a few minutes (depending upon DHCP lease time) once protocol anomaly is removed. For faster recovery please reboot the OpEdge-8D device.
