    Hi @Handian Sudianto ,

    in most cases this happens if the DHCP services is connecting to a NIC that got an APIPA IP Address.

    Are there multiple NICs configured in your DHCP server?

    You could try to bind the DHCP service to one NIC only or disable the unused NIC(s).


    (If the reply was helpful please don't forget to upvote and/or accept as answer, thank you)

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    The IP address 169.254.90.177 falls within the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) range.

    APIPA is a feature that allows devices to automatically assign themselves an IP address when they are configured to use DHCP but unable to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server.

    To further check this issue, you could check from below aspects:

    1. DHCP IP assignment

    Please check if your DHCP Server dc-50 has a proper IP assignment, otherwise it will not show dc-50 in DHCP console.

    1. DNS resolution

    Please check your DNS Server and make sure there's A record of dc-50 and you can succeed to resolve its' name.
