DHCP Pool Stops Working

I've been having an issue for about the past year where some of my DHCP pools will randomly stop working. If I just disable and re-enable the pool it will start working again, usually for a few weeks. I have tried deleting and recreating the pools with no success. Any idea what could be causing this? It's very frustrating when users can't get IPs!

The pool is not "full" isnt it? So for example, there are only 255 IPs and there are to many leases?

A broken device could cause such a issue.

No the pools are nowhere near full. When you say broken device are you referring to a client device or the XG?

"Software Broken Device in the Network, which tries to lease all IPs" - To be more precise.

If this happen, can you verify, if XG gets the DHCP Requests and:

A: Drops them

B: ignores them

C: Does not even get them?

You can use tools like drppkt on CLI to see, if the drops happen and tcpdump on CLI to see, if those packets arrives.
