check_dhcp on infoblox

[trevor obba]

when i run my nagios server as dhcp client i get ip lease to it. dhcp work fine however when i try to run check_dhcp it fails. 

here is how i am runing check_dhcp 

./check_dhcp -s 160.78.76.54 -t 40 -i eth0 -v
DHCP socket: 3
Hardware address: 000e0cb529c0
DHCPDISCOVER to 255.255.255.255 port 67
DHCPDISCOVER XID: 465293895 (0x1BBBD247)
DHCDISCOVER ciaddr:  0.0.0.0
DHCDISCOVER yiaddr:  0.0.0.0
DHCDISCOVER siaddr:  0.0.0.0
DHCDISCOVER giaddr:  0.0.0.0
send_dhcp_packet result: 548


No (more) data received
Result=ERROR
Total responses seen on the wire: 0
Valid responses for this machine: 0
DHCP problem: No DHCPOFFERs were received.


please note when i run check_dhcp my nagios server is using a static ip address and eth0 is the only interface present on my nagios server.
my dhcp server is an infoblox network device (Black Box)

Please make sure you reply to the mailing list rather than me 
personally. This way other people can follow the thread and help you as 
well, or see a solution if they have this problem and are reading an 
archive of it.

What is your primary interface on the box on which you are running this 
plugin? If it is eth1 for example, the plugin uses eth0 by default and 
you will get no response on the interface because it is not the active 
one. In that case you would need to run

./check_dhcp -i eth1

to make it use the right interface.

Also, have you tried doing

./check_dhcp -vvv [other options you need]

could you please reply with the full output of that?

We really need more information otherwise all we can do it guess what 
the problem is.
