Public bug reported:
Based on a DHCPACK the client receives it determines a renewal time,
which is 1/2 (+- some randomness) of the lease time provided by the DHCP
server. After this time the client sends a new DHCPREQUEST. In my case
the same DHCP server responds while providing the same IP address (in my
case preconfigured in a customer environment). This one is being
reassigned to the interface, resulting in a short link down / link up
sequence (see syslog below):

As a side effect, my running Cisco Connect Anywhere VPN client gets a
disconnect event and reconnects again. This will cause a drop of all my
open ssh, vnc, Oracle, ... sessions.
Isn't it possible to identify that the IP address is the same as the one
currently set and to skip this rebinding procedure?
