DHCP Server Failure

February 5, 2009 – 6:31 pm by jared

One of the DHCP servers that serves our Bay Area DSL subscribers had a disk begin failing, which caused the server to not properly handle all DHCP requests sent to it. This caused spotty DHCP connectivity for some customers until we were able to diagnose the silently failing disk. We have removed the failing server from service, and DHCP service should be fully restored to the affected customers.
