Sowmini,
     Thanks for the response. I have run your dtrace script multiple
times and did see the issue happen again but did not see any output
when does this happen? On boot? or by running some specific command?
As I mentioned before, you said the interface is supposed to get its
address from DHCP- how do you trigger that address acquisition? Why
isn't the DHCP flag set on the interface? what does
"ifconfig nge0 dhcp  status" report?
This happens a few hours after the system has been up. No specific command running. I can actually walk away and come back a few hours later and i has the DEPRECATED flag. I am using the standard DHCP method for this, using /etc/dhcp.rge0. Why the DHCP flag is not set, I am not sure. It may have been because I was trying various tests. I replicated the issue again and posted the results below.

root@hostname:~# ifconfig rge0
rge0: flags=1144843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,DEPRECATED,ROUTER,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
        inet 0.0.0.0 netmask ff000000
        ether 0:90:b:19:2a:dc
root@hostname:~# ifconfig rge0 dhcp status
Interface  State         Sent  Recv  Declined  Flags
rge0       SELECTING       61     0         0  [PRIMARY]
from the dtrace script provided. Do you perhaps have another script
that goes a little deeper?
doesn't make sense to construct a dtrace script till we know what
the  configuration process is.
