DHCP Error in Event Log

[2dduncan]

I received the following message and wonder if anyone knows what it is:<br>
<br>
DHCP received an unknown option 002 of length 004.<br>
<br>
DHCP received an unknown option 004 of length 008.

rranger,<br>
Do you have RAS set up on this server and are you using DHCP to assign the ip to the dial-in. If so, this is a known issue from MS. Change the RAS connections from DHCP to a static asigned pool.<br>
This can also be caused by DHCP spoofing on a router.

I had found that error message too refering to RAS but I don't have RAS loaded. Thats why I was stumped. The server is getting its number via DHCP however.<br>

 

[Warcorp]

ok, so DHCP server is not running on this box?

 

[2dduncan]

That is correct. I talked to our Systems Manager and he thinks that since the DHCP server is a non NT box (its a DEC/Compaq Alpha) that the NT box is not knowledgeable about some of the options that the Alpha is sending it.<br>
<br>
Just to clarify, the NT Server is the receiver of the DHCP not the server in this case.

What service packs have been applied to NT?

 

[2dduncan]

It is running Service Pack 5.<br>
