@Viacheslav
I guess the logs are from the dhcp-server and not from the client...

Can it be reproduced with the config below?
(an interface with the appropriate IP would still have to be configured and a client which obtains an IP)

set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 default-router '192.168.3.1'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 dns-server '8.8.8.8'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 dns-server '8.8.4.4'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 lease '86400'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 range 0 start '192.168.3.100'
set service dhcp-server shared-network-name dhcptest subnet 192.168.3.0/24 range 0 stop '192.168.3.200'

I can't reproduce it

Maybe you use radius or some else for login? As I see default user, not "vyos".

Yes, radius is used for login.

set system login radius server xxxxx.tld key xxxxxx
set system login radius server xxxxx.tld port '1812'
set system login radius server xxxxx.tld timeout '6'
set system login radius source-address 'xxx.xxx.12.1'
