Dear Maintainer, Just installed isc-dhcp-relay package on my Buster and noticed one interesting thing: /usr/sbin/dhcrelay -d -i eth0 10.10.10.10 Requesting: eth0 as upstream: Y downstream: Y Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Relay Agent 4.4.1 Copyright 2004-2018 Internet Systems Consortium.

For info, please visit https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/ Listening on LPF/vnet0/ Sending on LPF/vnet0/ Listening on LPF/lan1vbr/ Sending on LPF/lan1vbr/ Listening on LPF/lan1vbr-fake/ Sending on LPF/lan1vbr-fake/ Listening on LPF/dmz1vbr/ Sending on LPF/dmz1vbr/ Listening on LPF/dmz1vbr-fake/ Sending on LPF/dmz1vbr-fake/ Listening on LPF/eth0/ Sending on LPF/eth0/ Sending on Socket/fallback As you can see, relay agent is listening on all of my interfaces:/ Why is that? It seems that because of that I get plenty of the following messages: dhcrelay[4114]: Discarding packet received on vnet0 interface that has no IPv4 address assigned. Is it possible to fix such behavior?
