Hello,

DHCP server is enabled on PA for some customers.

It works fine BUT it creates a lot of entry in the sytem logs.

( receive_time leq '2013/02/06 11:49:27' ) and ( subtype eq dhcp ) and ( severity eq informational ) and ( eventid eq lease-start ) and ( description contains 'DHCP lease started ip 192.168.99.13 --> mac 68:96:7b:36:2d:8d, interface ethernet1/3.99' )

How can I disable it ?

Regards,

You cannot disable the DHCP log entries. You can increase the lease timer to give a much longer DHCP lease so that entries become less frequent.

I also recommend saving a filter so you can show only the events that are relevant to you. I use a simple one to ignore those messages and user-id information:

( subtype neq dhcp ) and ( subtype neq userid )

Save that using the 4th button in the filter menu ("Save Filter").

Hope this helps,

Greg

Hello,

I also tried to increase the lease timer (and also tried to disabled it!) but I still receive this kind of message...
