SELECTING means that an OFFER has been sent to the client (or at least the switch thinks it has relayed it), but the REQUEST hasn't come back from the client.
I have seen this in some instances where the client is expecting a Unicast reply from the relay agent rather than a broadcast or vice-versa - fix with: set forwarding-options dhcp-relay overrides layer2-unicast-replies Nice tip on the route-suppression statement William - that one has been annoying me for a while with JDHCPd on the SRX...
