Problem
I put in an ASA 5505 this week, and while I was setting it up I was getting plagued with these popping up in the command window all the time;
DHCP: Interface 'inside' is currently configured as SERVER and cannot be changed to a CLIENT by a CLIENT feature DHCP Client: can't enable DHCP Client when DHCP Server/Relay is running on the interface.
Seen here on ASA Version 9.1(1)
Solution
There not a lot of information out there about this, but it it essentially caused because you enabled the Cisco ‘Call-Home’ function. If you want call-home on then configure it, but I did not. The reason you are seeing these is because when you first entered configuration mode you were prompted with this,
And you answered yes, or if you use the ASDM;
You can confirm that by issuing a show call-home command,
As you can see its enabled, if you want it on, then configure it, I don’t so I’ll simply disable call-home.
