I did not see any reply to your question. It happened to me that a secondary switch was working badly with DHCP. If I rebooted the switch, it would work for a while, then fail again. But that was a sort of random failure, some ports would be affected sometime. The problem would occur a the first lease in the morning rather than at renewal time. As it was a cheap switch, unmanageable, I replaced it. > Sep 17 14:03:15 grendel dhcpd: ICMP Echo reply while lease > 192.168.1.253 valid. > Sep 17 15:25:19 grendel dhcpd: ICMP Echo Reply for 192.168.1.74 late > or spurious. > > which doesn't seem particularly relevant or heinous.

I don't remember ever seeing such error, but I would think that late or spurions is not that innocent: it could be the symptom of a switch not working at its nominal speed. Of course you could also consider a computer on that switch being infected by some kind of virus and generating so much traffic it takes your switch out.
