IP Address Not Allocated To Instance by DHCP
Problem
- Instance fails to receive IP address from the DHCP server after a reboot.
- Packet capture on the tap device of the instance and the bond0 interface shows the Broadcast Request is leaving the tap device but no packets are seen on the bond0 interface.
- Packet capture on bond0 interface.
Environment
- Platform9 Managed OpenStack - v3.6.0 and Higher
Cause
There is no physical interface connected to the Bridge br-vlan.
Resolution
- Add the interface (bond 0) to the bridge (br-vlan).
- After adding the interface, force the instance to renew the IP address from DHCP.
- Following is the packet capture of the instance on the tap device and we can see that the DORA process for DHCP completed successfully.
