Hello people,
I have a problem implementing ip helper-address, my DHCP client isn't recieving an ip address from the DHCP server. I use a Windows Server 2008 as DHCP server.
I've configured a 2811 router as inter vlan router and 2960 switch with a trunk interface to the router, and a access switchport to the 'S-EMINENT01' switch.
I created three subinterfaces (with dot1q encapsulation):
FA0/0.1 (VLAN1, NATIVE) 172.16.0.1/16
FA0/0.10 (VLAN10) 192.168.10.1/24
FA0/0.15(VLAN15) 192.168.15.1/24
Windows Server 2008 DHCP scope:
VLAN10: 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.254, excluded range: 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.9 /24
VLAN15: 192.168.15.1 - 192.168.15.254, excluded range: 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.9 /24
When I configure a static ip address (192.168.10.10) on my DHCP client, I'm able to ping until the FA0/0.1 (172.16.0.1) interface, but I'm still getting no DHCP ip address.
When I configure it within packet tracer, there are no problems at all and the DHCP client recieve the ip address properly. But when I use the same config on physical hardware, it won't work.

Note: the S-EMINENT01 is a non-configurable switch.

Does anybody have any suggestions or tips? Maybe someone could upload an example configuration for my situation?

Is the DHCP server pingable from the physical router?
06-17-2011 05:50 AM
Yes, the DHCP server is pingable.

Does your interface have:
no ip directed-broadcast
If not, it should.
EDIT: DUH! I see the config is right here, my bad. Please add 'no ip directed broadcast' to your interfaces.

Okay, I added 'no ip directed-broadcast' to my physical and all sub -interfaces on my router.
Requested an DHCP ip address on my DHCP client, but still no result.

Have you enabled portfast on the access layer switchport?
spanning-tree portfast enable
And ensured that the host was set to automatically pick up an address (I know, silly question, but I have to ask)?

Hi,
Can you get rid of SVIs on the 2960 except VLAN1 but configure this SVI manually then put f0/0.1 in the same subnet as your DHCP server( 172.16.2.0/24 I presume) and exclude this address as well as VLAN1 address from one of your scope.
Regards.
Alain.
