Hello,

In the log you provided, "Firewall port 68 is closed on interface 13" means that firewall port 68 on interface 13 is closed. Port 68 is used to receive IP address allocation information from the DHCP server. When the client starts, it sends a DHCP request on this port to obtain an automatically assigned IP address. This may be one of the reasons why the DHCP client cannot obtain an automatic IP address. You can first check the firewall settings to ensure that port 68 is open.
