Not getting IPs while connecting to the VLAN Ports

[4pratik]

Please see my Layer 3 VLAN configuration. Can someone please let me know what needs to be done in order to get DHCP IP?

Laptop connected to G0/1 for VLAN1XX not getting IP.

interface Vlan1XX
description SRVRVLAN
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
switchport access vlan 1XX
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
end

!

 - That output is not enough to conclude on the problem 1) Do you have a DHCP server ? 2) Is it on the same Vlan or not 3) If you think your DHCP-infrastructure should work, then check it's logs and see whether or not mac addresses are being served with IP-addresses.

I agree that we do not know enough about this situation to be able to give good answers. Since we see configuration of a vlan interface and of an access port I assume that this configuration of some kind of Catalyst switch. If that is not correct please provide clarification. We do not know whether the DHCP function is intended to be provided by this switch or by some external server. Please clarify.

If the DHCP function is to be provided by this switch then please provide what you have configured on this switch for DHCP. If the DHCP is external to the switch then is is in the same vlan as the clients? If the server is external and is not in the same vlan as the clients then the vlan interface configuration should include a helper address pointing to the server.
