DHCP Problems on new SSID

marioderosa2008 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 09:07:57 GMT

Hi all,

I have an SSID where clients cannot get DHCP addresses. I have captured the following debug and from what I can see the WLC recieves the DHCP address from the DHCP server and then attempts to forward that to the Station but the station does not get it.

Is my thinking correct? If so, what can cause the client not to recieve the DHCP offer packet from the WLC?

Thanks

Mario

The WLC is sending the traffic properly. The DHCP server is sending back a NAK to the Client REQUEST. It's a bit odd because the client is making a Request to the same DHCP server, with the same transaction ID, with the same "offered" IP address. Once the DHCP Server sends back an "ACK" instead of a "NAK", then you will be good.

What is the device offering DHCP? You might consider getting rid of DHCP-Proxy and simply bridging the traffic over. Can you take a "wired" client and place them on VLAN 51 of that same switch and get an IP address?

Thanks for the reply. it

Thanks for the reply.

it turned out that the broadband routing hosting the DHCP scope was the issue... not sure why it did not like the DHCP requests coming from the Wireless, but sure enough when i swapped it out with an old Cisco 877 with a basic DHCP scope, all works fine now.

thanks

Mario

Didn't like it probably

Scott Fella — Sun, 04 Jan 2015 19:23:35 GMT

Didn't like it probably because by default, the WLC has dhcp proxy enabled. There are various dhcp servers that will not respond to a proxy dhcp request and the fix is to disable that. Of course, replacing the dhcp with something that works fine with dhcp proxy will most likely work as in your case.
