      <br>
      <br>
      We have several cases of linux or windows clients loosing their
      IPv4 address.
      <br>
      <br>
      We noticed that sometimes, the date the client is supposed to have
      obtained the lease is way in the past (like in the year 1876).
      <br>
      <br>
      The version of DHCP is 4.2.2 (Debian Wheezy), two DHCP are in
      failover. We suspect some security features on the ethernet
      switches but they have been deactivated.
      <br>
      <br>
      Is anyone experienced this behavior?
      <br>
      <br>
      Regards,
      <br>
      <br>
      Nicolas
