Constant DHCP Discover/Offer for all wireless clients

Hello,

We have noticed a high CPU/Memory usage for both vWLC version 8.1.111.0 and our MS DHCP Server

vWLC is configured with DHCP Proxy

When sniffing the traffic on DHCP server I noticed that WLC's Wireless Interfaces are constantly sending DHCP Discover for clients even if they already got IP address from DHCP.

So it looks like this:

DHCP Discover from WLC

DHCP Offer from DHCP

DHCP Request from WLC

DHCP ACK from WLC

 

And then the proccess starts over again for the same client (MAC) with Discover(WLC) - Offer(DHCP) messages. Sometimes I notice DHCP NAK messages for the client, which previously received an IP

Lease time is set to 1 hour.

This doesnt happen to wired clients.

MS DHCP server is clustered with another MS DHCP server acting as a secondary.

 

Do you have any thoughts on this?

Thank you
