Bridged connection - no DHCP or UDP traffic

nsimkins

Level 1

We have a small remote location a block away from our main building connected via bridged T1.  Here's the flow:

Main Building >> 2801 >> T1 << 2801 << Remote Building

This is currently operating as a bridged connection between the two locations.  We are having a problem with DHCP requests not working at the Remote Building as well as specific UDP(port 7700) traffic.  I tried working with ip-forward protocol commands but that didn't appear to help.

Is there any solution available to help in this situation - allow DHCP traffic and UDP traffic to flow between locations?

Here's the Remote Building config:

version 12.4

service timestamps debug datetime msec

service timestamps log datetime msec

no service password-encryption

!

hostname Remote

!

The ip forward-protocol is used only with IP forwarding of traffic. And since you have configured no ip routing on both routers the ip forward-protocol statements you have configured are not doing any good and just complicate the configuration. I suggest that you remove them to clean up the config.

Is there a reason why you have not configured bridge-group 1 on the Ethernet interfaces that are configured with IP addresses? I suggest that you put bridge-group on these interfaces.

What is providing DHCP and how is it connected?
