A. The DHCP settings are compiled on the Clean Access Server. Sometimes these compiled settings can become corrupted, especially after an upgrade to the Clean Access Server software. The solution is to force the Clean Access Server to recompile the settings. In order to do this, make a change, and click update. Symptoms: The DHCP server does not start, or it occasionally fails on the Clean Access Server. Instructions: • If the DHCP daemon of the server does not start, go to the manager, open that particular server, and click Manage. • Select Network > DHCP > Subnet List, and click Edit for one of the subnet lists. • Make any change to the subnet (for example, increase the lease time by 1 minute), and click Update. • Go back to the status page and see if the DHCP service has started. At this point the DHCP settings should be compiled again. Note: Another situation that can cause the DHCP server not to start is overlapping subnet configurations. Check for this as well.
