✍️ Description

"No IP assigned after 60 attempts" was all the log held: 225 failures in a week, 7.5 % of all, with nothing to tell a missing DHCP server from a bridge without an uplink. The failure now logs the configured address and VLAN, the state of eth0, whether the bridge exists and has an uplink port, and for DHCP that no server answered. The MAC address is left out.
