Wireless DHCP issue

All,

I have a weird DHCP issue.  I have a DHCP scope on my switch for wireless.  Most of my wireless devices can get an IP address without issue.  New clients (coming to the network for the first time or new machines can't get an IP address.  When this happens, if I leave the machine alone, some will get an IP address after 5-10 minutes.

Wireless controller - 9800 LC

Switch = 3850 Port Channel 20 to the WLC (GIG1/0/29,33.35.43)

Wireless VLAN 30

Here's my config as well as output of debugs I did on the switch:

3850 Switch

First i would suggest on the DHCP - make exclude list for the router gateway. (on Cat 3850 switch)

default-router 192.168.30.1 (this is good enough not needed mask here)

option 43 hex f108c0a80a05c0a80a14  (hex as a shown example) convert your IP to hex (you see online tool)

suggest also lease time day or 8 hours will be good.

Bit odd on your trunk config, either you use access port or trunk

use below example guide :
