Why are these DHCP log entries repeated

I see multiple entries from the same device for each attempt to connect. Consider these 3 entries from an iphone and 4 entries from another device. What do the "via ..." indicate ? What does the ":1" mean in "em2:1" ? Why does the IP helper included in some log lines and not others ?

Key IPs here are:



  • 192.168.0.5 gateway address of master router at head office

  • 192.168.1.5 gateway address on same master router for subnet used for a branch office

  • 192.168.0.17 non-primary IP on btmfdr, which is the server doing DHCP. (this IP is the listed "IP helper" in the router configs)
