ASA 5505 - DHCP pool per VLAN

[Isynth]

Hallo,

I am struggling with a setup and I would be glad if I find help here.

The ASA is not capable of creating sub interfaces.

Still I would like to use different dhcp pools for different VLANS over trunks.

Please have a look at my config. So far no ip adresses are assigned to the clients.

Behind Ethernet 0/1 a managed cisco switch sg300 is connected.

interface Ethernet0/0
 switchport access vlan 2
!
interface Ethernet0/1
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,20,30,40
 switchport mode trunk
!

vlan interfaces

interface Vlan1
 nameif managed
 security-level 100
 ip address 192.168.0.193 255.255.255.224
!
interface Vlan2
 nameif outside
 security-level 0
 ip address dhcp setroute
!
interface Vlan10
 nameif work
 security-level 100
 ip address 192.168.0.14 255.255.255.240

interface Vlan20
 nameif home
 security-level 80
 ip address 192.168.0.30 255.255.255.240

!
interface Vlan40
 nameif inside
 security-level 20
 ip address 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.224

dhcp pools

dhcpd dns 8.8.8.8
dhcpd auto_config outside
dhcpd option 3 ip 192.168.0.254
!
dhcpd address 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.13 work
dhcpd enable work
!
dhcpd address 192.168.0.17-192.168.0.29 home
dhcpd enable home
!
dhcpd address 192.168.0.33-192.168.0.43 restricted
dhcpd enable restricted

 Thank you in advance for your time

Hello,

Can you share the output of 

show dhcpd statistics

We might need to run debugs and captures later but after checking the config, everything seems good.

PD: You did not share the switch config, I hope that one is correct :)

Hallo Julio,

thank you for your participation in this.

If I connect a client directly to the ASA and add the ASA port to a VLAN the client receives the right ip configuration. If I connect the client to the switch the ASAs count on the dhcpd statistics doesnt change.

(config)# show dhcpd statistics
DHCP UDP Unreachable Errors: 0
DHCP Other UDP Errors: 0

Address pools        3

DHCPNAK              0

To be honest I did not configure much on the switch.

on all ports I ran switchport mode access and switchport access VLAN 10

this is my trunk

#show interfaces switchport ge 9

does the management interface play any part in this?

interface vlan 1

 no ip address dhcp

The switch SVI should be in VLAN 10 according to the IP address assignment in your network.

So port 9 on the switch connects to the asa trunk interface.

Can you share the output of show int trunk on the switch?

[Isynth]

I added the SVI to Vlan10. But on my other switch I want to use 3 vlans. Which adress should I use for the SVI since all VLans belong to different sub nets?

I noticed that I can not ping the ASA from the home switch, the ASA doesn't even show a icmp debug message.

The show int trunk command is not recognized by the switch.

Here is the whole config. For some reason the last two interfaces G9 and G10 are not displayed when i run show run. I changed the trunk to GE 8

It looks like the switch does not communicate with the asa at all as soon as it is connected via a trunk port.

If I connect the switch via an access port everything works fine even dhcp. But since I want to use more VLANS in the future it isn't an option to connect the switch to an access port assigned to one VLAN.

[Isynth]

After changing the native VLan on the trunk port to 99 and allowing it it works. Got the info from this article http://blog.braini.ac/?p=26.

But still I would like to know how the SVI needs to be defined as soon as I have more than one VLAN and different address ranges on the switch.

Thank you So far for your help on this.
