According to the logs, three of the servers that we are responsible for (csethics, msdnaa, and online) went down Saturday because they could not renew their IP address leases. We had to reboot otel5, but for csethics and msdnaa (Linux boxes), we simply restarted the network processes.

Subject: DHCP Server Problem

One of our DHCP servers (whose purpose is to assign IP addresses to servers and workstations) has stopped performing that function. We have restarted the DHCP service, but that did not help, and there are no obvious problems with the server. Rather than devote more time to trying to solve the problem on an old server, we are planning to install DHCP on a new server. That's something we wanted to do anyway.

In the interim, IP addresses should continue to be assigned and renewed as before, though from our other DHCP server. In one case we found it was necessary to reboot a server so it could get its reserved IP address from DHCP.
