Image attached. I am trying to figure out why DHCP is not working on the R1, 2811. I have configured dhcp with the following parameters:

R1#show run | sec dhcp
no ip dhcp use vrf connected
ip dhcp pool V10
network 10.150.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.150.10.1

ESW1 has a vlan 10.150.10.1 and I configured ip helper which is 11.11.11.11 it resides on R1:

ESW1#show run int vl 10
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 93 bytes
!
interface Vlan10
ip address 10.150.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 11.11.11.11
end

R1#show ip int br | ex un
Interface                  IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
FastEthernet0/0            172.10.10.2     YES manual up                    up
FastEthernet0/1            172.10.20.2     YES manual up                    up
Loopback1                  11.11.11.11     YES manual up                    up

I am able to reach the 11.11.11.11 all the way from ESW3.

ESW3#ping 11.11.11.11
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 11.11.11.11, timeout is 2 seconds:

My host R2 at the bottom is unable to get DHCP. It's interface is configured for DHCP. I have the host in vlan 10 and checks the status and it's all UP UP. I did debug on R1 and this is what I get:

R1#debug ip dh se

*Mar 1 00:09:04.815: DHCPD: there is no address pool for 172.10.10.2.

It says " there is no address pool for 172.10.10.2." Why??? Why is it looking at 172.10.10.2? and not 10.150.10.0? Can anyone help? Am I missing a command? Or is the DHCP server too far from the ESW3? Everything below ESW1 and 2 is running trunks and above L3 links.

This is indicating that R1 received a DHCP request, probably on FastEth0/0 or it had the address of FastEth0/0 in the gateway address field of the DHCP request. Is it possible that something is generating DHCP requests other than R2?

No, I checked, just R2.

Richard Burts · ‎07-18-2016

If you are sure that the debug output represents the request from R2 then we need more details about how ESW! and perhaps ESW3 are configured.

This is ESW1. it's connected to ESW3 via trunk. not much going on there I can provide you the config if you need. Thanks for your help!! Also, f1/15 goes to R1 and 1/1 goes to ESW3

Thanks for posting the config. I believe that this is the cause of your problem

no service dhcp

change it to enable the service dhcp and let me know if the behavior changes.

Hi,

Yeah, I noticed that later on, did not help though. What I did was I configured the same topology in packet-tracer and it works. It does not work in GNS3

Richard Burts · ‎07-18-2016

Thanks for posting back with this information. It is very interesting that it turns out to be a bug in GNS3.

I was actually able to get it to work. I enabled DHCP service on ESW3. I didn't know you need the DHCP service enabled on all switched. I thought only the switch that are actually performing dhcp. I saw that you mentioned it, i thought you were talking about the main switch.

Thank you for your help!
