PC Not getting DHCP from DHCP server configured in router

[nischal31]

I am having a problem getting DHCP on my PC LAN

Router (DHCP Server) (ISR4331)(192.168.70.1)-- Switch (3750G) (IP helper address 192.168.70.1 on Vlan 1) - PC (192.168.70.x)

The port coming from router (DHCP server) is connected to G1/0/1 Catalyst 3750G switch.

The exact same configuration works on packet tracer though but does not work on real device.

I have also included wireshark packet capture of DHCP message.

Can anyone help me with this.

I'm just curious why exact same configuration worked on packet tracer but not on real device. Please help me on this

Thanks

Hello,

which IP address is the Vlan 1 interface on the switch getting ? Most likely an IP address from the 192.168.70.0/24  range as well, that is why your DHCP does not work. Shut down the Vlan 1 interface on the switch and try again. Or give the Vlan 1 interface on the switch (which is meant for management only anyway) an IP address from a different sunet (and remove the IP helper-address)...

Hi,

Shutting down the vlan 1 interface does not have any effect.  But, isnt the IP helper-address supposed to be there to give rest of the ports (2-24) the IP adress coming from the router ?The same configurations works in packet tracer but not on real device pretty strange. The server connected to the same config is getting DHCP though. If I put static IP on my PC it can communicate to the LAN within that segment though.

@nischal31 , I would advise you to remove interface vlan from the router, issue the command, "no interface vlan 1".

Try it. If the issue is solved, mark the comments as solution and like this.

Hello  nischl31,

As you mentioned packet tracer it's working. I suggest, following setps to be performed in windows client pc.

Open Task Manager --> go to Services Tab --> Restart Dhcp Client Serive

or Open Command Prompt with Administrative rights (Run as administrator) and execute following commands:

net stop dhcp
net start dhcp

Best regards

i think in this case you must restart dhcp service from task manager
