DHCP failed, APIPA is being used

Joel DJ

I'm doing this Packet tracer Project where I'm required to design and implement the Vic Modern Hotel network. The hotel has three floors; on the first floor, there are three departments (Reception, store, and Logistics), on the second floor there are three departments (Finance, HR, and Sales/Marketing), while the third floor hosts the IT and Admin. Therefore, the following are part of the considerations during the design and implementation;

  • There should be three routers connecting each floor (all placed in the server room in the IT department).
  • All routers should be connected to each other using serial DCE cables.
  • The network between the routers should be 10.10.10.0/30,10.10.10.4/30 and 10.10.10.8/30.
  • Each floor is expected to have one switch (placed on the respective floor).
  • Each floor is expected to have WIFI networks connected to laptops and phones.
  • Each department is expected to have a printer.
  • Each department is expected to be in a different VLAN with the following details;
    1st Floor;
    - Reception- VLAN 80, Network of 192.168.8.0/24
    - Store- VLAN 70, Network of 192.168.7.0/24
    - Logistics- VLAN 60, Network of 192.168.6.0/24
    2nd Floor;
    - Finance- VLAN 50, Network of 192.168.5.0/24
    - HR- VLAN 40, Network of 192.168.4.0/24
    - Sales- VLAN 30, Network of 192.168.3.0/24
    3rd Floor;
    - Admin- VLAN 20, Network of 192.168.2.0/24
    - IT- VLAN 10, Network of 192.168.1.0/24

 

  • Use OSPF as the routing protocol to advertise routes.
  • All devices in the network are expected to obtain an IP address dynamically with their respective router configured as the DHCP server.
  • All the devices in the network are expected to communicate with each other.
  • Configure SSH in all the routers for remote login.
  • In the IT department, add a PC called Test-PC to port fa0/1 and use it to test remote login.
  • Configure port security to IT-dept switch to allow only Test-PC to access port fa0/1 (use sticky method to obtain mac-address with violation mode of shutdown.)

 

I'm getting a DHCP failed error on the second floor. 

Here is my pkt file

@Joel DJ,

1st Floor DHCP is working and 3rd Floor DHCP is not configured.

2nd Floor DHCP isn't working. F2-Router sub-interfaces have incorrect IP addresses.
G0/0.30 - 192.68.3.1 change to 192.168.3.1
G0/0.40 - 192.68.4.1 change to 192.168.4.1
G0/0.50 - 192.68.5.1 change to 192.168.5.1

Hello,

since I have been working on your file, I might as well post it. In addition to the wrong subinterface IP addresses, it is also good practice to configure the access ports on the switches with 'spanning-tree portfast', as otherwise the DHCP might time out. Also, the links between the routers and the switches should preferably use the Gigabit interfaces, as that increases the speed.

I also added the subinterfaces for Floor 3...attached the revised file.
