periodically clients cannot lost IP assigned by IOS DHCP server (router)

[Andriy Sidko]

Hi guys.

I have  C891FW router acting as DHCP server for lan clients (vlan11)  I put following configuration:

++++++++++++++++++

ip dhcp binding cleanup interval 300
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.172.1 192.168.172.18
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.172.0 192.168.172.17

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.172.31 192.168.172.255
ip dhcp ping timeout 150

ip dhcp pool wifipool
import all
utilization mark high 80 log
network 192.168.172.16 255.255.255.240
default-router 192.168.172.17
domain-name st1.net
option 150 ip 192.168.172.2
dns-server 192.168.172.9 192.168.172.2
lease 1 3 30
ip dhcp snooping vlan 11
ip dhcp snooping

++++++++++++++++++

time to time all clients (it happening different for every clients) lost/cannot renew IP assigned by DHCP (gettig self assigned 169.254.x.x)

force clients manually re-obtain IP resolve issue till next time.

Thank you in advance.

p.s. time whenever issue is happening random.

p.p.s router running IOS c800-universalk9-mz.SPA.154-3.M10.bin

Try some different Option as suggested by this post :

https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/dhcp-not-releasing-ip-address-cisco-ios/td-p/3189502

we do not see bugs reported, but the psot have some bugs, i belive they resolved your version.

i took a look at post. It seems nothing related to issue I have.

what do  you think if I upgrade router image to latest recommended by Cisco: c890-universalk9-mz.157-3.M3.bin?

Thank you.

your wifipool is using network 192.168.172.16 255.255.255.240

which is from 192.168.172.16  until  192.168.172.31

you've got 16 addresses, from which .16 and .31 are network and broadcast and .17-.18 are excluded -> 14 left

how many active devices do you have in this pool? 

also your exclude statements look a little odd.... 

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.172.1 192.168.172.18
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.172.0 192.168.172.17

ip-address	The excluded IP address, or first IP address in an excluded address range.
last-ip-address	(Optional) The last IP address in the excluded address range.

as it is an exclusion range so I see overlap  .0-.17 with .1-.18 you may correct this for clarity

ok. config looks like this now:

gate(config)#do sh runn | s dhcp

i'll test tonight.

Thank you.
