Hello Community, im having trouble getting DHCP to work on a L3 Core Cisco switch, it works properly but after a few days it stops responding, then i proceed to delete the dhcp pool and create it again solving the problem but only for a few days, any pointers or recommendation on what could it be? any help is greatly appreciated! many thanks!
this is the wireshark packet capture:

- Could be a software bug, check current release and or consider testing with more recent versions, if applicable.

have you run debugs on dhcp on your core device?
08-15-2019 03:47 PM
will try and post back, thanks for sharing

Hello,
post the output of 'show ver'.
Does it also start to work again if you disable/enable the DHCP service ?
CoreSwitch(config)#no service dhcp
CoreSwitch(config)#service dhcp

Is it possible that your DHCP pool assigns a very long lease time (or even perhaps infinite)? This could lead to all addresses being used and no addresses available for assignment.

ive tried 7 and 30 day leases, also ipconfig /renew works on windows when dhcp is up

will try and post back the outcome and "show ver" thanks!
