DHCP Relay question

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

Hello experts,

Hope you can help me with this scenario:

PC

|

(NM-16ESW)

c2691#1

(Fast0/0)

|

L2_Sw - PCs

|

(Fast0/0)

c2691#2

I have a DHCP pool configured in router c2691#2, which leases IP addresses to the PCs

attached to L2_Sw. I need to plug a PC on one of the 16 ports available in the NM-16ESW

module of the c2691#1 router and that PC should take an IP address from the DHCP pool

configured in c2691#2 router.

I have done a lot of configuration but I haven't had any luck so far. Is this possible?

Can somebody help me with the correct configuration of both routers?

Here is my last try:

Hello Juan,

did you try to configure fa0/0 on c2691#1 as standard switched interface?

Karel Vins

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

Hello Karel,

I cannot do that because I need f0/0 as a layer 3 interface doing HSRP with f0/0 of router 2691#2.

[Karel Vins]

Hi Juan,

is it possible to use Vlan 1 interface as L3 interface instead of fa0/0?

Karel

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

What's the configuration you're suggesting? Configure F0/0 as a trunk and use Vlan 1 as the L3/HSRP interface?

[Karel Vins]

My suggestion is:

1) configure fa0/0 as switched access port in Vlan 1 and try if DHCP is working,

2) configure Vlan 1 as L3/HSRP interface.

I thing that fa0/0 can be access port not trunk port if you don't need more than one Vlan between router and switch.

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

How can I configure a pure Layer 3 interface as an access switch port? I don't have any switchport commands available.

[Karel Vins]

Ou, it's my mistake. I didn't realize that fa0/0 is not interface of switch module.

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

No problem... The interfaces of switching module are fa1/0-15. Any other thought?

[Karel Vins · Accepted solution]

Could you connect router to switch via switch module? Use fa1/15 instead of fa0/0?

[Juan Pablo Corrales Cordero]

I think that is the best solution.

Thanks a lot!
