DHCP Port Open

[Joe Lee]

Hello,

We configured two subnets on the switch, one is for employee, one is for student. We don't want the student student access to the employee subnet. The DHCP server is setup at employee subnet - 192.168.100.2.  We are not able to pull the IP address from the DHCP server at the VLAN20, but when we remove the "ip access-group 100 in" at VLAN 20, and it works fine. What ports should we open at the access list 100. Please advise.

Thanks,

Joe

Int vlan 2

Hello Joe Lee,

Try adding the line below to your acl.

access-list 100 permit udp any eq bootpc and eq bootps

UDP port 67 is for the dhcp server

UDP port 68 is for the dhcp client

The link below gives more detail concerning allowing dhcp traffic via a acl.
