I use Cisco IOS DHCP but I can not get the IP from manual binding.

ssukpool · ‎06-18-2006

Could anybody help me? First of all, I have to tell that I just start to learn for Cisco switch, Cisco router.

I'm trying to automatically assign IP for switches which connect to router for some testing. The IP from automatic binding is assigned correctly but the IP from manual binding is not assigned to the specific switch.

Assume that I did the manual binding for switch A (IP : 192.168.0.60 MAC address 0013.5f0c.fec2) but when I check the assigned IP of switch A, the IP is not 192.168.0.60 but it is the IP from automatic binding pool (192.168.0.61).

How can I assign the IP from manual binding pool to the switch A? Please take a look at the configuration of the router as following.

!

ip subnet-zero

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.50

!

ip dhcp pool ts1pool

network 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.0.47

domain-name ts1domain.com

dns-server 192.168.0.1

lease 7

!

ip dhcp pool macc3

host 192.168.0.60 255.255.255.0

hardware-address 0013.5f0c.fec2

client-name macchiato_3

!

interface Ethernet0

ip address 192.168.0.47 255.255.255.0

!

interface Serial0

no ip address

shutdown

!

And this is the results from "sh ip dhcp binding" command

termserver1#sh ip dhcp binding

IP address Hardware address Lease expiration Type

192.168.0.60 0013.5f0c.fec2 Infinite Manual

192.168.0.61 0063.6973.636f.2d30. Jul 25 1993 02:35 AM Automatic

3031.332e.3566.3063.

2e66.6563.322d.566c.

3330

When I check at switch A, the IP 192.168.0.61 is assigned.

One more thing, please notice that actually MAC address of switch A is 0013.5f0c.fec2 but why it show

" 0063.6973.636f.2d30.3031.332e.3566.3063.2e66.6563.322d.566c.3330 " in "sh ip dhcp binding" command.

Help me please!!!!!

Thanks a lot.

show version should actually tell you the switch's mac address, if this is a switch running IOS. and have you tried not putting the manual binding in a separate pool?

ssukpool · ‎06-18-2006

Well, after I used "show version" command on switch A, I can get MAC address as following :

...

90K bytes of flash-simulated non-volatile configuration memory.

Base ethernet MAC Address : 00:13:5F:0C:FE:80

Motherboard assembly number : 73-9833-02

Motherboard serial number : FHH0913012Y

Motherboard revision number : 03

System serial number : FHH0913012Y

Hardware Board Revision Number : 0x01

Switch Ports Model SW Version SW Image

------ ----- ----- ---------- ----------

* 1 26 WS-CE500-24LC 12.2(0.0.232)SEG CE500-LANBASE-M

This MAC address is bound with specific IP (192.168.0.60)

But when I used "show ip int brief" command on the switch A, the IP from automatic binding was assigned (192.168.0.61) instead of manual binding as below :

Macchiato3#sh ip int brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

Vlan1 172.20.249.11 YES manual up down

Vlan30 192.168.0.61 YES DHCP up up

FastEthernet1 unassigned YES unset down down

FastEthernet2 unassigned YES unset up up

...

BTW, I have tried not putting the manual binding, so the automatic binding is assigned properly (I mean the switch A get any automatic IP from DHCP server properly).

However, I would like to test DHCP feature by using the specific IP to switch A , using automatic IP for others.

Please advise me.

Thanks,

Different physical interfaces on the switch have their unique mac addresses. You need to find out which interface the switch is using to talk to the router. One way to do this is to look for which interface is on the vlan 30.

Another thing you can do, is to use the mac address in the automatic binding for the manual binding.

For a list of all the mac addresses on the switch, issue the command sh mac address static.

Roberto Salazar · ‎06-19-2006

show interface vlan 30 would give you the mac-address for that SVI. what is the mac-address for interface vlan 30?

ssukpool · ‎06-20-2006

After I have been trying to do, I get the information like this.

1). The interface Fa2 is on vlan 30.

2). When I use "show int vl 30", I get this info :

Macchiato3#sh int vl 30

Vlan30 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is EtherSVI, address is 0013.5f0c.fec2 (bia 0013.5f0c.fec2)

Internet address is 192.168.0.62/24

MTU 1998 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec,

3). Right now all binding IP on router as following :

termserver1#sh ip dhcp binding

IP address Hardware address Lease expiration Type

192.168.0.60 0013.5f0c.fec2 Infinite Manual

192.168.0.62 0063.6973.636f.2d30. Aug 01 1993 10:13 AM Automatic

3031.332e.3566.3063.

2e66.6563.322d.566c.

3330

Same thing, the automatic binding IP is assigned to switch A (Macchiato3) instead of the manual binding IP.

So that I try to use the MAC address from automatic binding for manual binding, I get this error message :

termserver1(dhcp-config)#hardware-address 0063.6973.636f.2d30.3031.332e.3566.3063.2e66.6563.322d.566c.3330

% DHCP could not parse the hardware address. Check character 39 (.).

In other words, I use this MAC address, it's ok.

termserver1(dhcp-config)#hardware-address 0013.5f0c.fec2

4). When I use "sh mac address-table static", the information as following :

Macchiato3#sh mac address-table static

Hi,

Took me some time but I found why the switch is giving this client-id "0063.6973.636f.2d30.3031.332e.3566.3063.2e66.6563.322d.566c.3330 " and thus it does not match your hardware address and as a result it does not assing the static mac address.

From what I found, the dhcp server will look at the client indentifier in the dhcp

discover packet and use that, not the mac address. How do you know what the client

identifier is? You have to either use a sniffer or turn on debugs on the dhcp server.

I you use an ascii hex to ascii symbol conversion chart you see the following.

Hi Could you please suggest the meaning of following error.
