Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-A 1.7.0

Opened: Nov 03, 2023

Symptoms

After enabling DHCP in ConfD, IP address allocation does not show up. This is because DHCP takes around 12 seconds to allocate an IP address after sending the request.

Impact

Conditions

Using ConfD, configure the IP address using DHCP: "system aom config ipv4 dhcp-enabled true". Look at the IP address using "do show system aom".

Workaround

Wait around 12 seconds after enabling DHCP, before attempting to view the IP address.

Fix Information

None
