The following sections provide instructions to verify that the DHCP Proxy Client is working
properly.
V ERIFYING DHCP P ROXY C LIENT I NITIALIZATION
Regardless of whether or not the Proxy Client has been enabled via configuration, some
initialization processing is always performed. If this initialization is successful, there should not be
any warnings/errors written to the report log by the DHCP Proxy Client.
1. Examine the report log. Type:
dr <return>
2. The dr command displays the system report log. Look for any messages that begin with:
[DHCP-P]
3. The following message indicate that errors occurred during DHCP Proxy Client initialization
processing:
[DHCP-P] Proxy Client initialization failed
If you do NOT see this message in the report log, the DHCP Proxy Client has successfully
performed its initialization processing.
4. If you DO receive an initialization failed message, the DHCP Proxy Client will not operate
correctly. Contact your Distributor or Customer Support.
V ERIFYING THE P ROXY C LIENT IS E NABLED
If Proxy Client has been enabled via configuration, a relevant message will appear in the report log:
1. Examine the report log. Type:
dr <return>
2. Look for any messages that begin with [DHCP-P].
3. If the Proxy Client has been enabled via configuration, the following message should appear:
[DHCP-P] Proxy Client enabled
If the above message was found in the report log, the Proxy Client has been successfully
enabled.
4. If the message is NOT found in the report log after system initialization, try the following:
a. Check the DHCP configuration. This can be done by using CFGEDIT, or by using the dhcp
command from Manage Mode.
b. Make sure that the Proxy Client is enabled.
