Problem

You receive the error message:

Client client_id is trying to verify unrecorded address ip_address, ignored.

Verification: There are two possible reasons for getting this message:

1. You can receive this message if your dhcp_network tables have been deleted. If you are using only the Solaris 2 DHCP server, then this is typically the reason.

2. You can receive it if you are not using NIS+ for datastore, so information is not shared. Make sure that the server is sharing data.

If you have a group of heterogenous servers, then ignore this message.

Solution: Remove old cache files on the client by typing:

ifconfig interface_name dhcp release
