I looked in our Moto manual and could not find an equivalent command. =(

The following command on the Cisco CMTS controls the number of DHCP
LEASEQUERY request messages that are sent for unknown IP addresses per each
service ID (SID) on an upstream:

 

cable source-verify leasequery-filter upstream

On the Arris C4 it is

 

configure cable proto-throttle dhcp 

configure cable proto-throttle interval <INT> 

configure cable proto-throttle max-burst <INT>

We have a Moto BSR64000, and I’ve never seen any DHCP rate-limiting, either.
Just a “max-hosts”.

My CMTS is a Cisco UBR 10K, but I didn't found  information about rate
limit.

Daniel, you should activate dhcp throttling in your CMTS. Advanced CMTSs
support rate limiting features that limit the quantity of DHCP
DISCOVERS/REQUESTSs in order to avoid this kind of DoS attacks

I'm having the following problem, a client begins randomly sending a storm
of requests DISCOVERY, and DHCP responds with a OFFER, but nothing more than
that. These requests cause denial of service on DHCP. Even removing the MAC
from DHCP, the DISCOVERY continuing. I tried these versions V3.1.1 and
4.1.1-P1, both have the same problem. 
The IP 10.40.0.1 is a Cisco CMTS with dhcp relay activated.
