Hi rechard

your DHCP server is in router or External server. you have to configure ip helper-address(DHCP Server Address) in your VLAN Interface.

add the following configuration to your router

router#config t

router(config)#interface Vlan 10

router(config)#ip helper-address "your DHCP Server IP Address " for example your DHCp Ip address is 192.168.1.1 add the following line

router(config-vlan)#ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

router(config-vlan)#exit

router(config)#interface Vlan 20

router(config-vlan)#ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

router(config-vlan)#end

router#wr

please rate this post if helps

Thanks and Regards

Dear Mohana,

Thank you for your advice!!!:)

yes, DHCP provide by Router. i configure like this:

ip dhcp pool Vlan10

network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.1.2

ip dhcp pool Vlan20

network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.2.2

router(config)#interface Vlan 10

router(config-vlan)#ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

router(config)#interface Vlan 20

router(config-vlan)#ip helper-address 192.168.2.1

MY question would like to ask you:

When i configure DHCP pool like command above,

so i'm not clear which DHCP server that i can assign on ip helper-address?

Best Regards,

The ip helper-address command is used when the DHCP is on some device other than the router. When DHCP is configured on the router itself then you do not need ip helper-address.

The config parts that you posted look like a reasonable start for DHCP on the router. I would think that you might want to also configure to exclude the router address from the pool of addresses. Is DHCP working or not working based on what is in your config so far?
