in addition to what @balaji.bandi  has mentioned, are all the clients on the same subnet or are they on different subnets?  Is traffic opened for UDP/53 in the FDT firewall for DHCP traffic that needs to traverse the firewall?

Our Clients are in different subnets and Core Switch (6500) is the gateway of our clients

and all of config related to "IP helper " under Core Switch interface is done .

this scenario is OK with ASA and all of DHCP traffic are allowed in ASA .

when replaced ASA with FTD 4110 ( DHCP Traffic allowed on FTD ) clients cannot obtain IP Address from DHCP server . our DHCP Server is Microsoft windows Server.

One of the things I suspect is DHCP Snooping and DHCP option on our Access Switch and Core Switch. but i cannot test it

DHCP traffic is UDP/67 and UDP/68 .

 

But what is different between Cisco ASA and FTD in DHCP Snooping Options and Packet ?

when ASA is the next hop of Core Switch all of thing about DHCP and IP address obtaining are OK

when replaced with FTD 4110 i cannot seen DHCP requested from Source Interface VLAN on Core Switch .

 

Yes, sorry, I got mixed up with another case when I mentioned UDP/53.

I have seen this issue a few times.  In the situations that I was involved with the connection table showed that connections for DHCP was setup towards the outside interface (i.e. default route for internet was being established before dynamic routing).  A clear connection on the FTD CLI solved the issue.

I had TAC on the case and they did a change...which escapes me right now.  I will try to find the solution they came with

Were you able to find the solution that TAC did?

 

Thanks
