- @rcreddy-e Make sure to configure an ip helper address if the DHCP server is not on the
VLAN those clients are operating in : an example below.
interface Vlan10
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.1.1.100
no shutdown

No ip helper-address 10.1.1.100
ip dhcp pool vlan10
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
lease 0 8
We have configured the DHCP pool for VLAN10 with the below settings:
Also, the ip helper-address 10.1.1.100 configuration is currently not enabled.
At present, devices with static IP addresses are working fine. However, DHCP IP addresses are not being assigned/released to client devices.
Could you please check and confirm if there are any missing configurations or issues from the DHCP server side?
Please let us know your observations.

- @rcreddy-e >....., the ip helper-address 10.1.1.100 configuration is currently not enabled.
If the DHCP server is not in Vlan10 then using the ip-helper address directive becomes
mandatory.

Hello @rcreddy-e ,
it looks like your switch is configured as DHCP server for VLAN10.
>> ip dhcp pool vlan10
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
lease 0 8
Configuration is fine if the switch has SVI interface vlan10 configured and up/up.
as suggested post also the configuration of interface vlan10 an outgoing IP ACL applied to it may be present.
>>
check how many IP addresses are assigned from the pool
show ip dhcp binding
Edit:

Hope to help

i guess you check the ip helper address and make sure not routing issues or firewall blocking UDP 67/68 traffic
