dhcp client - wrong "client identifier"

Hi,

When a client sends DHCP discover, it receives a unique identifier from the server, the problem is that I see a strange 0x20 prefix and then the correct identifier (see CLIENTID below):

[CODE]l-csi-0516h:~ # /usr/lib/wicked/bin/wickedd-dhcp4 --test ib0
Notice: ib0: Request to acquire DHCPv4 lease with UUID 5ab06058-8f9c-0600-5725-000001000000

[/CODE]

Anyone knows what is this 0x20 prefix and how can I remove it?

Thanks.

The 0x20 prefix (32 in decimal) indicates IPoIB (IP over
InfiniBand) and can’t be removed - see https://tools.ietf.org/htm

The information addresses the active bit during IPv6 autoconfiguration, which is required for local (IPv6 Unicast Link-local) communication. This address makes use of the MAC address, in the portion “interface ID”
