DHCP Issue in VRF & VRF Forwarding VLAN's

[kansaaregulat]

I have 2 Cisco 9606 switches as the core with SVL.

I just want to share that, as per our network design, we have VRF, VRF Forwarding VLANs, DHCP, etc. configurations. However, I have been observing some issues related to DHCP.

In the access VLAN, DHCP is not broadcasting IP addresses, so VLAN access ports are not getting IP addresses automatically, though manual IP assignment is working and VLAN SVI is being assigned.

I am wondering if I am missing any configuration related to VRF, VLAN Forwarding VRF, or DHCP configuration for the access network.

Hi @kansaaregulat 

 Would be easier if you share  the config here.  And keep in mind that DHCP server does not broadcast IP, the client is who broadcast asking for IP and if you have a Layer3 interface, SVI or VRF between client and DHCP server you need to use the command "ip helper-address" in order to the client request to get to the DHCP server.
