DHCP on L3 switch not working

[Operation]

Hi,

Trying to setup a L3 switch with DHCP server running and handing out addresses on all ports.

I have a very simple PT file with PC connected to 3650 in GigEth1/0/1, pool configured.

Still doesn't work... Please help me find the problem.

Attached is the PT file.

Thanks!

Hello,

here is one way to make it work:

ip routing
!
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.1
!
ip dhcp pool LAN
network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.10.1
!
ip cef
no ipv6 cef
!
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
!
interface Vlan10
mac-address 00d0.ff3e.7301
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

[Operation]

Thanks!

will try that on real hardware when I have access to it. 
Would the same and exact syntax work on the 3750 as well? (That’s the model I have in the lab).

Hello,

the syntax on the 3750 is the same.

The MAC address on the Vlan interface is something Packet Tracer automatically configures, it is not needed on a real device.

[Georg Pauwen]

In your case, you need to create a vlan 2 interface:

interface Vlan 2

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Attached the working file.

Another beginner question

why is the need to specify a MAC address when setting up the VLAN? (The last part of the config)
