Good evening all, have a slight bug with the controller logs from my OC300 to the ER7206. As of upwards of 2 or 3 months ago or more, logs used to display MAC address of a client in the DHCP Server module info. Now it shows exactly what you see (i am redacting only info needed)

 

Am wondering if anyone else has ever seen anything similar. Thanks everyone!

Hi  @blindvi 

 

Thanks for the info.

 

This is fixed by the latest firmware of the controller. Please update your controller to the latest one:

Thanks for your posting.

 

To better understand the issue, could you please provide a screenshot of the log interface? You can blur out sensitive details like MAC addresses.  

Additionally, did you upgrade the controller or router 2–3 months ago when you notice this issue? This information will help us pinpoint potential causes.  

Is this only happening on DHCP assignment logs?  Can you see any other types of logs for the mentioned clients?

  @Vincent-TP Hi there, and thanks for the reply sir! 

 

It seemed to have started after about 3 to 4 months ago possibly after an update, yes. This is only happening on the DHCP Server module logs, no other logging is affected.

  @Vincent-TP Thank you very much for the speedy help! Am applying the update now, which the controller did not seem to indicate as being available, since it it stated the version i posted was the latest one. Have downloaded manually. Will report back if there is any further issues.
