• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

I never saw this before.

One server has

255.255.255.255:bootps <=> *

when running iftop with data going back and forth.

Its continual.


Anyway to figure out what the mac address belongs to?
 
That mac belongs to " 000AE6 Elitegroup Computer S"

you'd need to interrogate the switch to see what port that MAC is coming from. If you wanted to be evil you could also just throw a dhcp server up and give it an IP, and take a look at it with a port scanner.
 
Evil?

Moi?

Don't you know about karma and all :)

It's not my datacenter but a clients server. Everything is fine on the server except I saw the request traffic on iftop.

Iftop should be on everyones server.
