Hi experts,
I recently got complaints that some clients can't get IP address through the DHCP server configured on a Cisco IOS router. I turned on debugging on DHCP events and packets and I see the following logs.
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: DHCPREQUEST received from client 0100.1b63.f246.8c.
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: Finding a relay for client 0100.1b63.f246.8c on interface FastEthernet1/0.10.
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: Seeing if there is an internally specified pool class:
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: htype 1 chaddr 001b.63f2.468c
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: remote id 020a0000cf6050011000000a
Mar 22 15:33:41: DHCPD: circuit id 00000000
...
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: DHCPREQUEST received from client 0100.1b63.f246.8c.
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: Finding a relay for client 0100.1b63.f246.8c on interface FastEthernet1/0.10.
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: Seeing if there is an internally specified pool class:
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: htype 1 chaddr 001b.63f2.468c
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: remote id 020a0000cf6050011000000a
Mar 22 15:34:02: DHCPD: circuit id 00000000
Then it will repeat and repeat for this MAC. Any reason why the router is not assigning an IP to it? It actually happens to some other MACs as well... They are from different vendors and located on different switches... I can't really find a pattern for this problem... The DHCP pool hasn't run out and it still has available IPs in it.
Thanks
