[SRX240 DHCP Server] Error: the dhcp subsystem is not running [ Edited ]

[jec]

Hi,

Does somebody already encountered the error in the subject despite all the configuration is done like it is on other SRX? The fact is that I don't find any way to solve this issue.

adm@FW# run show configuration system services dhcp
maximum-lease-time 86400;
default-lease-time 86400;
domain-name net.grp;
router {
    172.18.100.254;
}
pool 172.18.100.0/24 {
    address-range low 172.18.100.50 high 172.18.100.200;
    default-lease-time 1440;
    name-server {
        208.67.222.222;
        208.67.220.220;
    }
    router {
        172.18.100.254;
    }
    propagate-settings ge-0/0/4.0;
}

Weird,

Try

user@srx>restart dhcp gracefully

Thanks MMcD for your advise.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work better.

Here are the result:

adm@FW> restart dhcp gracefully
error: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol process is not running
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol process started, pid 30926

adm@FW> show system services dhcp global
error: the dhcp subsystem is not running

adm@FW> restart dhcp-service gracefully
warning: dhcp-service subsystem not running - not needed by configuration.

adm@FW>

You may need to reboot the device if restart dhcp-service is not working.  :-s

Thanks again!

Already rebooted when upgraded to JUNOS Software Release 11.4R2.16 last week. But it haven't resolved though.

Any other idea?

1 - Do you have interfaces in the 172.18.100.0/24 subnet?

2 - Have you enabled DHCP in the security zone configuration?

[jec]

Yes I confirm for both your questions. As we can see:
