DHCP failed APIPA is being used

[Saraaz]

i keep trying to fix it and I'm not sure where the problem is.

Hi

   Among others problem, the main problem here is that you have two router between the PC and the DHCP server.  You need to know that as a Layer 3 device, the router will not send the PC broadcast to the DHCP server. 

 So, will not work this way.  Either you simplefy your topology, or you need to do a lot of configuration in order to work.

First of all ping router to router fails. then we can move to dhcp issue.

Ping Router1 to  NAT router fails because of you are using switching module to gain more ports (not sure if it's intentional or not);  Two ways to fix it; remove switching module and use gig port instead.  2nd one, if u use switching module, all ports are connecting to SVI, so IP of that SVI , (in your case vlan 50) should be assigned to interface vlan 50 (i see vlan 1 only in shutdown).  SVI does routing for all ports that belong to that vlan (assigned via module)

Then your  static route issue should be solved; Use  show  ip ro 192.168.10.1 to see that issue is solved. 

If you have a router between DHCP server and PCs you will need an ip helper address on interface so that B-cast are forwarded to server.  (#ip helper-address x.x.x.x)

here is partial solution:

interface Vlan50

no shut

ip address 192.168.50.2 255.255.255.0

router 1

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

ip helper-address 192.168.40.10

Hello

The interfaces connecting to Rtr 1 and rtr2 are physically incorrect, as such the ip addressing isnt working, once you have corrected that you should be fine.

Hello,

make the changes marked in bold. Also, the wireless laptops did not work because you need to install the wireless modules. I added the modules as well. Currently, there is no wireless authentication, you might want to configure that for good practice (WPA2 is recommended). I attached the revised file (saved in PT version 8.1.1, make sure you have that version installed.
