Jiri Popelka 2016-01-13 15:14:34 UTC Doc Text Previously, when using the "dhclient" DHCP protocol client on a host with two network interfaces connected to the same subnet, "DHCPREQUEST" packets were only being sent to one of the interfaces. Consequently, the IP address lease of the other interface was not being renewed.

With this update, "dhclient" sends "DHCPREQUEST" and "DHCPRELEASE" packets to both interfaces, even if they are on the same subnetwork.

With this update, "dhclient" sends "DHCPREQUEST" and "DHCPRELEASE" packets to both interfaces, even if they are on the same subnetwork.
Cause: DHCP client doesn't support multiple interfaces on the same subnet and doesn't ensure that unicast requests go through the right interface.

Consequence: DHCP client fails to renew a lease and network configuration stops working.

Workaround (if any):

Result: DHCP client cannot be used in configuration with two interfaces connected to the same subnet.

*DHCP* client sends unicast requests through the wrong interface

*DHCP* client does not support multiple interfaces on the same subnet and it is not able to ensure that unicast requests go through the right interface. Consequently, *DHCP* client fails to renew a lease, and network configuration stops working. There is no known workaround at this point, *DHCP* client cannot be used in configuration with two interfaces connected to the same subnet.
