DHCP packet received on wlan0 which has no address on pihole

I have setup my DHCP server with pihole, it's working fine.

I received this error on pi-Hole diagnosis.

Check the image here.

Please help.

I tried nothing to resolve this error.

Solution

  • It means you are using Pi-hole's embedded DHCP server. When running a diagnosis (using pihole -d), Pi-hole queries on each interface to check if a DHCP server responds there. Your Pi-hole's DHCP server received this request on wlan0 which, however, isn't configured.

    This is fine and nothing to worry about.
