DHCP Failed, APIPA being used.

[SjING]

Hi, i am using an ip address of 10.19.1.0/24 for this network and the switch is connected to the routers and devices at vlan 100,

i used 10.19.1.1 on the router gig0/0 and starting ip 10.19.1.2 on the server. when i configure dhcp on the devices, it says APIPA is being used and is unable to configure dhcp ip address on other laptops.

Hello,

post the zipped Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file. If your devices are password protected, post the passwords as well.

Hello,

the DHCP pool configured on the server is empty (no start/end IP addresses). The router needs to be connected to a switchport in the same Vlan as the DHCP server. Also, the DHCP server has no IP address.

Attached the revised file.
