I am using packet tracer. I have a Router, Switch & 4 PC's. When I go into the PC's Ip configuration & enable DHCP I get the "DHCP failed. APIPA being used" error. What am I missing or doing wrong?
I used the following for configuration on R1: (only provided info for vlan 10 & 20)
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.10.1 172.31.10.10
ip dhcp pool VLAN_10
network 172.31.10.0 255.255.255.224
default-router 172.31.10.1
dns-server 209.165.201.14
interface g0/0.10
encapsulation dot1Q 10
ip address 172.31.10.1 255.255.255.224
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.20.1 172.31.20.10
ip dhcp pool VLAN_20
network 172.31.20.0 255.255.255.240
default-router 172.31.20.1
dns-server 209.165.201.14

What about the switch side? Can you attach the zipped .pkt file?

share the switch "show run"
Or attach the file.

Which switch interface is connected to the router and which one is connected to the PC?
05-05-2022 04:49 PM
interface g0/0
no shut
05-05-2022 05:03 PM
I did the interface g0/0, no shut. It is still not working.
Here is what show run looks like:
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.10.1 172.31.10.10
ip dhcp excluded-address 172.31.20.1 172.31.20.10

after NO SHUT
force the PC to get IP again via DHCP
05-05-2022 05:32 PM
When I turn the DHCP on after the "No shut"
It will give me the IPV4 address & Subnet, I still get the "DHCP failed"
05-05-2022 05:44 PM
Router must connect via trunk "see my above comment"
Pc must connect to access
05-05-2022 05:47 PM
Ponit for you
Any port config for trunk not appear in show vlan
You connect router to g0/0 or g0/1 which is access not trunk?
