Hello!

i have entries in my /var/adm/messages, which occur every second:

Mar 11 10:04:09 oi /sbin/dhcpagent[343]: [ID 577356 daemon.error] 
plumb_lif: SIOCSLIFFLAGS igb0:3: File exists
Mar 11 10:04:09 oi /sbin/dhcpagent[343]: [ID 884816 daemon.warning] 
configure_v6_leases: no IAADDRs found in IA_NA
Mar 11 10:04:09 oi /sbin/dhcpagent[343]: [ID 987277 daemon.warning] 
configure_v6_leases: no usable IA_NA option found
Mar 11 10:04:09 oi /sbin/dhcpagent[343]: [ID 350639 daemon.warning] 
dhcp_bound: no address lease established
Mar 11 10:04:09 oi /sbin/dhcpagent[343]: [ID 587021 daemon.warning] 
accept_v6_message: dhcp_bound failed for igb0

It should by ok to have DHCP messages -- but every second ??

Size of the log is > 700MB, along with the logadm rotation a sum of 3-4 GB

The server is at home behind a fritz box 5530 router, which is supposed 
to handle IA_NA which a turned on option:

*Assign DNS server, prefix (IA_PD) and IPv6 address (IA_NA)
*The FRITZ!Box is announced as a DNS server via DHCPv6. Parts of the 
IPv6 network assigned by the internet service provider are passed on to 
downstream routers. Devices in the home network are assigned an IPv6 
address via DHCPv6.


Don't know. What triggers this every second (?)
Is it some sort of a DHCP retry becauseof this warning ?


Any hints are welcome!

Regards,

Stephan
