We just have our L3 switch (which acts as our building boundry to the rest of our network) with SVI's on it for various different VLAN's. Each SVI has an ip helper-address on it pointing to the DHCP server. Our dhcp server then has different IP ranges for all of those VLANS and assigns IP's based on what VLAN you are in... yes all other wired traffic is fine in vlan 2... </P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 07 May 2008 15:11:38 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wireless-client-can-t-get-dhcp/m-p/1001392#M86436 ds5879.cisco 2008-05-07T15:11:38Z Re: wireless client can't get dhcp https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/wireless-client-can-t-get-dhcp/m-p/1001393#M86437 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>To be honest - I have not come across this problem specifically.
