DHCP Issue with ISR 2821

[cyberurmel]

Hi all ,

sorry if i am not in the right category.

I have a great issue with only ONE Client in dhcp.

Everything works finde except i get a Receiver for Internet TV from provider. As i connect it ..i can see the discover etc ..but then i have debugged that the dhcp send a nack because of an entry in the bindings should exist for this device?!

Everything looks normal also there is a right arp entry..but the the dhcp send a nack

Also tested to manually set it with identifier or mac.. then it takes the next free ip and the same as above ..

anyone can help ?

[omz]

try clearing arp and dhcp bindings

any conflict with ip already in dhcp bindings?

can you share the dhcp debug and dhcp pool config?

[cyberurmel]

Hi and thanks first.

i cleared both - same issue.

I set it manually

192.168.x.189       ac6f.bb88.3cbf          Infinite                Manual

and then the message in debug is:

After that the binding entry is for me correct with mac there

also in the arp table

Internet  192.168.x.189           7   ac6f.bb88.3cbf  ARPA

the configs are :

ip dhcp pool local
 network 192.168.x.0 255.255.255.0
 default-router 192.168.x.2
 dns-server 192.168.x.2
 domain-name test.internal

and

ip dhcp pool homestatic
 host 192.168.x.189 255.255.255.0
 hardware-address ac6f.bb88.3cbf
 client-name mr401

i tested also with identifier an 01 prefix to the mac. same issue

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.x.180 192.168.x.254

also checked within the dhcp range ..same answer:

belongs to some other client but the mac is identity

any clues?

here is the guidelines : ( check my example try and let us know)

Example: Configuring Manual Bindings

The following example shows how to create a manual binding for a client named example1.abc.com that sends a client identifier in the DHCP packet. The MAC address of the client is 02c7.f800.0422 and the IP address of the client is 172.16.2.254.

ip dhcp pool pool1 
 host 172.16.2.254 
 client-identifier  01b7.0813.8811.66
 client-name example1

The following example shows how to create a manual binding for a client named example2.abc.com that does not send a client identifier in the DHCP packet. The MAC address of the client is 02c7.f800.0422 and the IP address of the client is 172.16.2.253.

ip dhcp pool pool2 
 host 172.16.2.253 
 hardware-address 02c7.f800.0422 ethernet
 client-name example1

Because attributes are inherited, the two preceding configurations are equivalent to the following:

ip dhcp pool pool1 
 host 172.16.2.254 255.255.255.0 
 hardware-address 02c7.f800.0422 ieee802
 client-name client1
 default-router 172.16.2.100 172.16.2.101 
 domain-name abc.com
 dns-server 172.16.1.102 172.16.2.102
 netbios-name-server 172.16.1.103 172.16.2.103
 netbios-node-type h-node

So example you can try below options :

ip dhcp pool homestatic
 host 192.168.x.189 
 hardware-address ac6f.bb88.3cbf  ethernet  (or ieee802 - old syntax)
 client-name mr401

i asked myself why everything works fine with dhcp except these receivers types

i also checked from the same interface some other clients and it worked fine so i don´t know what is the problem there.

any clues?

[omz]

requested address 192.168.x.189 belongs to some other client

but as you say there is no other client .. strange .. cant see anything obvious .. 

cant you please test with client-identifier .. 

ip dhcp pool homestatic
 host 192.168.x.189 255.255.255.0
 client-identifier ac6f.bb88.3cbf 
client-name mr401

and 

 client-identifier 01ac.6fbb.883c.bf

can you test with an ip that is not in the excluded range?

I think .. if you exclude address and put a manual binding it won't work.

[cyberurmel]

hi thank you

i checked that earlier .. same issue. That is my problem ..there is no duplicate adress , It seems like the dhcp makes everything right and think an ack is already done but it isnt. Then the discover comes again and then for shure dhcp says already there .

have no time to check next few weeks .. thank you perhaps i will reopen#

Hello,

try and temporarily disable the verify ping from the server:

Router(config)#ip dhcp ping packets 0

Does the correct IP address get assigned now ?

[cyberurmel]

thanks first

i will check it ,,but unfortunatley i have to go in hospital ..so i will check it asap as i am back.

for this reason i changed the router to a another router(not cisco)  and there it works without issues immediately,

strange

perhaps a bug or the ios too old?

greets

[omz]

You shouldnt really disable the ping to dhcp pool addresses before assignment... but if it works for you .. 

Hope you understand the implication of the command...

Surely the real issue is that the ip for the server is in excluded addresses and in static binding.. thats why it doesn't get ip
