&gt; Unlike dhcp 3.x, dhcp 4.x scans interfaces from /proc/net/dev, <br />

&gt; compatibility), then the SIOCGIFADDR requires the label / alias <br />

&gt; dhcp-server is unable to find any address and fails to start. <br />

&gt; Changed to use getifaddrs() function, which retrieves all IP <br />
&gt; addresses on linux systems and is available since GLIBC 2.3. <br />

Thank you for your suggested fix. &nbsp;I believe we have at least one other<br />
similar proposed fix in the pipeline but I will make sure that the developers<br />
see your suggestion.<br />
