R: R: R: Relay agent with dhcp server on same subnet

[Autuori Gianluigi]

Thanks
So the only way to do it correctly is to use a switch that suppress the original broadcast DHCP packets. The one I use doesn't permit this.

    You are correct. Your switch is acting as a DHCP relay but it does not appear to be suppressing the original broadcast DHCP packets. This means your server is seeing every request twice: once directly from the client without relay information and one via the switch that includes the relay option. 

    The direct DISCOVER would have generated an error message in the server's log that no addresses were free and dropped. However, the direct REQUEST generates a NAK.

    This is probably a configuration error in the switch.
