2900 router bindings not associated with VRF:

[roncro]

Hello,

I have the DHCP server running on the router, it ands out IP addresses, but for the wrong subnet.

I am trying to use only static bindings in pools, with an "origin file" like:

*time* Apr 20 2020 5:11 PM
*version* 3

!IP address Type Hardware address Lease expiration
192.168.1.64 /24 1 146B.9CA6.CE60 Infinite ! test-cam-1
192.168.1.65 /24 1 146B.9CA6.AEEC Infinite ! test-cam-2
192.168.1.66 /24 1 0C8C.2442.1E16 Infinite ! test-cam-3

When I issue a "show ip dhcp binding"

I get to see: "Bindings from all pools not associated with VRF:"

with a "show ip dhcp pool" I get this:

#show ip dhcp pool

Pool VLAN1 :
Utilization mark (high/low) : 100 / 0
Subnet size (first/next) : 0 / 0
Total addresses : 26
Leased addresses : 26
Pending event : none
65484 subnets are currently in the pool :
Current index IP address range Leased addresses
192.168.1.37 192.168.1.37 - 192.168.1.37 1

....

what does "65484 subnets are currently in the pool :"   even mean?

Also, the dhcp server hands ot IP adresses, but theare all like 192.168.0.x

(and all addresses I have in the static files are  in 192.168.1.0  and the other pool in 192.168.2.0. on some access points I can see dhcp clients actually 'take' the wrong address and associate with an access point.

thanks,

Ron

Any ideas why that is happening?

Hello,

you need to specify the VRF in the pool:

ip dhcp pool HOST_1
vrf RED
host 192.168.37.11 255.255.255.0
client-identifier 013c.970e.9050.f5

ip dhcp pool HOST_1
vrf RED
host 192.168.37.11 255.255.255.0
hardware-address 3c97.0e90.50f5

alright,  one thing I found out is that  this router does not like a comment at the end of a line, and no tabs.

So I have DHCP working on the  wired/copper network it seems.

Anyway,  the VRF error/warning. 

Do I need it (I just have some wired machines and a bunch of wireless stuff) ?  is there a default one/setting?  Can I ignore it for now?
