ISR router config with switching module connecting with dual ios-xr switches & Layer 3 connectivity & routing.

[patel_ankit1]

I want to create DHCP pool in router for 3 vlans. can i create it?

i want to set up layer 3 connection with 2 switches uplink to router(switching module installed), what would be the config i give?

also, both ios-xr switches on hsrp with those 3 vlans set upto router gatways - 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, 192.168.4.1- what config i can give each switch & Router interface?

can you advise me best way to make understandable this topology? i attached the design.

thanks,

Hello patel!

- First create a DHCP pool for every vlan, and you need use DHCP relay to point the three vlans to the interface that have that pool.

For the relay this is the command.

Router(Config)#interface gi0/0/0

Router(config-if)#ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

-Second, in the switches you need to convert the interfaces L2 to interface L3 with the next commands.

switch(config)# interface gi 0/1

switch(config-if)# no switchport

switch(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0

-Third for the configuration of the hsrp you need select the interface of the switches, and use a ip maybe the 192.168.1.2

SwitchA(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.1.2

SwitchA(config-if)#standby 1 priority 110

SwitchB(config-if)#standby 1 ip 192.168.1.2

SwitchB(config-if)#standby 1 priority 100

And you can use te next command to check the HSRP status.

SwitchA#show standby

GigaEthernet0 – Group 1
Local state is Standby, priority 110
Hellotime 3 sec, holdtime 10 sec
Next hello sent in 0.776
Virtual IP address is 192.168.1.2 configured
Active router is local
Standby router is 192.168.1.4, priority 110 expires in 9.568
1 state changes, last state change 00:00:22

In this case the switch with higher priority is the active, and in the case of a failure the switch con lower priority it´s going to take the active role.

Thanks for reply joselgo2!

Done part:-

1) dhcp scope on router which is below:-

ip dhcp pool vlan2
network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
default-GW 192.168.2.1

ip dhcp pool vlan4
network 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0
default-GW 192.168.4.1

ip dhcp pool vlan8
network 192.168.8.0 255.255.255.0
default-GW 192.168.8.1
