    Port 546 is being used by another process instead of the DHCP server, preventing rogue DHCP server detection in IPv6. The conflicting process should be configured to use a different port so DHCP can use port 546. DHCP uses ports 546 and 547 to communicate between IPv6 clients and servers, so if either port is in use by another application, DHCP will not function properly.

    Issue
    Port 546 is in use by another process.

    Impact
    If port 546 is in use by another process, DHCP server cannot perform rogue DHCP server detection in IPv6.

    Resolution
    Configure the conflicting process to use a different port and DHCP to use port 546. DHC P uses UDP ports 546 and 547 to initiate communication between the IPv6 client and server. If either of these ports is in use by another application, or the ports are otherwise reserved, DHC P will not function. You can use Windows Firewall with Advanced Security (WFAS) with the following procedure to reassign ports so that DHC P
