DHCP sees all clients with same client ID

Mark30 · ‎09-24-2022

I have this very weird problem where my C1111-8P router sees all clients as having the same client-id. i.e. I connect a number of devices one at a time and they all appear as having the same client-id.

When I connect multiple devices at the same time to the router, I get all manner of problems such as IP conflicts.

It's as though the router is ignoring the client-id, certainly isn't using the hardware-address, and goes into melt down.

For the time being I've configured all manual IP addresses on the small network. But this isn't viable long term.

Any suggestions what might be causing this?

Richard Burts · ‎09-24-2022

A good starting point in trying to understand your issue would be to post the current running configuration.

Mark30 · ‎09-24-2022

would you believe it 2 seconds later I spotted it. the port subscriber-id was being used as the client-id. doh

MHM Cisco World · ‎09-24-2022

Yes it not allows the MAC is client-id.

Mark30 · ‎09-24-2022

I've been messing about a lot so the config is in a bit of a mess. Which I'm now going to fix. However, would be very useful for you to look over the config and suggest some good practices / chnages.

MHM Cisco World · ‎09-24-2022

where is the config of virtual-template ?

Mark30 · ‎09-24-2022

I'm very new to cisco ios so don't know what this is or where to get it from. Sorry I'm a newbie

Richard Burts · ‎09-24-2022

You posted your config, and then apparently removed that post. Here are the comments about what I saw

Congratulations on finding the source of the original problem. Here are some comments about your config.
- you have both enable password and enable secret. Only one of them is used. When enable secret is configured (and it is the more secure of the 2 alternatives) then enable password is ignored. So remote the enable password.
- you do not need this line since this address is included in a range that you configure.
- you have exclude addresses for 192.168.12, 192.168.13, and 192.1468.14 but there are no pools that use those addresses. Remove these.
- your access list NAT includes the statement permit ip any any. Since everything is permitted all the other statements are extraneous and might as well be removed. You do need an access list used for address translation. I have seen problems when nat was configured with an access list that used permit any any. So I suggest that you revise the acl used for nat. In its current form there is no use in using the acl on the interfaces. If you really want to filter something then use an acl. Otherwise just remove the access-group from the interfaces.
- your route map uses acl 197 but that acl has no content.

Thanks. I'm going to work on the config tomorrow and will repost the updated config. Would be great to get your view on the final config. Cheers.

Here are comments about the config posted today:

- you still have both enable password and enable secret. see the explanation in my previous response.

- the dhcp pools for DMZ and VPN do not specify a default router.

- the acl NAT still has the issues discussed in my previous response. When used for address translation it is a best practice to avoid permit any any. And applying the acl to interfaces using access-group makes no sense to me.

- I am not sure why you have one of the nat inside commands using a route map. And the syntax of that route map no sense in the context of nat.

One last question. I've been playing with the DNS server. But find either I can resolve hosts on the local domain, or I can resolve hosts on the WAN. Not both at the same time. 1

Will do a bit of reading but it seems the DNS server on the router doesn't then refer to the WAN DNS to try to resolve.

Not a DNS guru so suspect it's something simple that I'm missing.

MHM Cisco World · ‎09-25-2022

I now read split DNS, I think you need this solution.
https://haxcess.wordpress.com/2013/04/22/cisco-split-dns-on-a-router/

Mark30 · ‎09-25-2022

That seemed like the way to go and tried to do that. Saliant part below Doesn't seem to do anything different. It's like the split tunnelling is not splitting for the local host mypc.x.local.

Any help welcome.
