Client Not Receiving DCHP Offer

Hello. I'd appreciate any assistance solving the following problem. This is a basic layout of the network:

EDIT: I'm working with real devices, not on Packet Tracer.

Wireless clients on VLAN 200 obtain IPs from a DHCP server on VLAN 1 through a router acting as DHCP relay. Oddly, one of the clients won't receive the DHCP Offer. I verified that the DHCP server receives the DHCP Discover and replies with the DHCP Offer, which makes it through the router. But the WLC debugging does not show the offer; only continuous DCHP Discover from the client:

The router passes the DHCP Discover through the Zone-Based Firewall and handles the Offer reply from the server. The entry "FIBipv4-packet-proc: packet routing failed" seems noteworthy but the same whole sequence is registered for another clients that get DHCP fine.

I'm at a loss because it looks like the router is sending the DHCP offer to the client network but the WLC does not register it, which apparently means that the packet is not making it to the client network.

Solved!

After the above, I had a hunch that this was some kind of interoperational bug between ZBFW and DHCP relay. Then I found DHCP Client or Server with ZBF Router Configuration, which prompts to pass DHCP requests and replies from and to the router when working with the built-in DHCP server or when the router is a DHCP client. It also refers to bug  CSCso53376 - ZBF inspect doesn't work for broadcast traffic which succinctly states that "ZBF with DHCP currently does not work" and the solution is to "manually allow DHCP [...] from and to the router."

So, I modified the policy between the self and the Iot zone (where the lightbulb is) to pass DHCP reply and the problem was resolved instantly, meaning that the bulb successfully got an IP after the DHCP offer broadcasted by the relay made it to it through the ZBFW. The previous policy only inspected everything and curiously, clients that set the bootp flags on the DHCP Discovery to Unicast always worked fine, which happened to be all the devices I had had. As soon as I brought the Lifx bulb, which sets the flags to Broadcast, I hit the bug.

This is the working config now:

ip access-list standard PERMIT_ANY
permit any
ip access-list extended DHCP_REPLY
 permit udp any any eq bootpc

policy exists on zp SELF-IOT_ZP
  Zone-pair: SELF-IOT_ZP

  Service-policy inspect : PASS_DHCP_REPLY_AND_INSPECT

    Class-map: DCHP_REPLY_CMAP (match-any)

Hello,

 

sorry about that, you mentioned that in your post. The 'problem' client is the mobile device on Vlan 200 ?

 

Can you post the running config of the router ?

Hello,

 

I think that, since the router is not the DHCP server, you need to have DHCP traffic pass between the IOT and the HOME zones. It would look something like this:

 

access-list extended 101
10 permit udp any any eq 67
!
access-list extended 102
10 permit udp any any eq 68

class-map type inspect match-any HOME-TO-IOT-CM
match access-group 101
class-map type inspect match-any IOT-TO-HOME-CM
match access-group 102
!
policy-map type inspect IOT-TO-HOME-PM
class type inspect IOT-TO-HOME-CM
pass
class class-default
drop
policy-map type inspect HOME-TO-IOT-PM
class type inspect HOME-TO-IOT-CM

If I do this DCHP doesn't pass through the firewall because the DHCP packets are directed to the router (self zone). That's why time ago I set the firewall to pass DHCP discover from IOT to self (255.255.255.255), inspect all from self to Home and IOT, and inspect all from Home to self.

 - IOT to self DHCP Discover: 0.0.0.0 ->pass-> 255.255.255.255

 - self to Home relayed DHCP Discover: 192.168.200.1 ->inspect-> 192.168.1.14

 - Home to self DHCP Offer: 192.168.1.14 -> 192.168.200.1

 - self to IOT relayed DHCP Offer: 192.168.200.1 ->inspect-> 0.0.0.0


The strange thing is that this has been working for all clients in all vlans, except for this one client. By the way, this device is a smart light bulb. I'd blame it if the WLC showed the DCHP Offer for it, but it doesn't; as if the DHCP offer is not making it to that network. For comparison, this is the WLC debug for the complete DHCP negotiation for a cell phone on the same vlan (200):

Hello,

 

--> this device is a smart light bulb

 

What brand/type/model is the smart light bulb ? And what brand/type/model is the WLC ?

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your help on this. During the end of the year I got distracted from this. Late Happy New Year!

The bulb is a Lifx Original model BUL-11-A21E26-G. The WLC is an AIR-CT2504-5-K9 V03.

I'll monitor the switch to verify if the DHCP Offer is making from the router to the WLC.

Hello,

 

I guess if you can get a Wireshark capture, that would be helpful.

 

Since I don't know much about the LifeX bulbs, I have googled around; did you try a hardware reset ?

Also, it might be worth while checking the wifi connectivity checklist:

Update:

On the subnet where the lightbulb is clients that send the DHCP Discover with the bootp flags set to Unicast get DHCP fine. However, the lightbulb sets the flags to Broadcast. This seems the be the crucial factor.

The lightbulb gets DHCP fine if I connect it to the network where the DHCP server is. It means that the problem occurs due to the bootp flag being set to Broadcast and DHCP going through a relay.

I see the DHCP server sending the DHCP Offer and the relay says that it broadcasts it, but a packet capture on that VLAN (200) does not show the Offer, only the constant client Discovers:

Solved!

After the above, I had a hunch that this was some kind of interoperational bug between ZBFW and DHCP relay. Then I found DHCP Client or Server with ZBF Router Configuration, which prompts to pass DHCP requests and replies from and to the router when working with the built-in DHCP server or when the router is a DHCP client. It also refers to bug  CSCso53376 - ZBF inspect doesn't work for broadcast traffic which succinctly states that "ZBF with DHCP currently does not work" and the solution is to "manually allow DHCP [...] from and to the router."

So, I modified the policy between the self and the Iot zone (where the lightbulb is) to pass DHCP reply and the problem was resolved instantly, meaning that the bulb successfully got an IP after the DHCP offer broadcasted by the relay made it to it through the ZBFW. The previous policy only inspected everything and curiously, clients that set the bootp flags on the DHCP Discovery to Unicast always worked fine, which happened to be all the devices I had had. As soon as I brought the Lifx bulb, which sets the flags to Broadcast, I hit the bug.

This is the working config now:

ip access-list standard PERMIT_ANY
permit any
ip access-list extended DHCP_REPLY
 permit udp any any eq bootpc

  Zone-pair: SELF-IOT_ZP
