So, I'm curious, around the same time every night, I get these so called "bogons" showing up on the network with an IP address of 0.0.0.0.

This also causes great network disruption; the client loses internet for periods of time on certain devices. Could be from 2 - 5 minutes at a time.

DHCP lease is still valid, cannot ping gateway and cannot ping other LAN clients, and of course no internet access.

Then BOOM, everything just goes back to normal. Some examples are below, and this happens on nearly every client on the network and moves between MAC's.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Check and see if you have IGMP snooping enabled on the wireless interfaces…

DDOS Attack.
 
So, I'm curious, around the same time every night, I get these so called "bogons" showing up on the network with an IP address of 0.0.0.0.

Did some more digging on this...

It is related to DHCP, in that a device that doesn't have a local IP assigned yet, inserts a null address for itself on the DHCP request.

arpwatch flags this as a bogon - it's just a warning in syslog, not much to worry about.

If you look on the wire with tcpdump (filter on arp and dhcp), you should see that once the device has an IP address assigned by DHCP, the bogon warning should stop...

BTW - your devices that are kicking the warning - the IEEE OUI lookup for the MAC addresses are as follows:

  1. C49DED: Microsoft Corporation
    One Microsoft Way REDMOND WA US 98052
  2. B8EE65: Liteon Technology Corporation
    4F,90,Chien 1 Road,ChungHo,Taipei Hsien,Taiwan, TaiPei TaiWan TW 23585
  3. 7824AF: ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
    15,Li-Te Rd., Peitou, Taipei 112, Taiwan Taipei Taiwan TW 112
