Cisco ASA VPN - Configure external DHCP server

[ericn8484_2]

Currently we have a local pool on our Cisco ASA to had out IP's for our VPN users. We would like to have our DHCP server perform this task. This way we have more control over the IP addresses that are given out as well as our DNS entries will be correct.

Here is our config:

group-policy TESTVPN attributes

wins-server value 172.16.9.221 172.16.9.222

dns-server value 172.16.9.221 172.16.9.222

dhcp-network-scope 172.24.3.1

tunnel-group TESTVPN general-attributes

authentication-server-group VPN_Users

default-group-policy TESTVPN

dhcp-server 172.16.9.221

Now our ASA is able to ping our DHCP server. However when we try to connect to this test VPN, our server never receives the request. Does anyone have any tips?

Maybe you have to configure ASA as DHCP relay server.

Yea, we tried to apply that however our ASA is giving us an alert that there is a DHCP proxy configured. Even though we removed the VPN dhcp settings that we created.
