Hi,
I am trying to configure a DHCP helper address on a 3750 and am having some problems that I hope someone can help me with.
I have a windows DHCP server (Id prefer not using the 3750 to serve DHCP) on VLAN1 segment with addr scope of 10.199.135.0/24.
The DHCP server is attached to a workgroup switch on port fa0/2.
The workgroup switch is attached to the core switch from port Gi0/1 to port Gi3/0/20
Also attached to the core switch at port Gi5/0/12, is a test client.
The core switch is a stack of 3750s, and the workgroup switch is a 3560. All are running 12.2.52.
I am creating a separate VLAn (199) with scope of 10.199.199.128/26
I would like to be able to use the same DHCP server for both scopes.
Refer to the config captures below for the pertinent ports, below. But basically I created the vlan on the core switch, in the appropriate scope, and set the vlan interface address to .129, and set up a helper address on the VLAN interface pointing to our DHCP server on vlan 1.
I then created the appropriate DHCP scope on our DHCP server.
Next I created a test port set to access vlan 199, on the core switch. Since I haven't done helper addresses before I wanted to keep it as straight-forward as possible.
I then plugged a client, configured to obtain a dhcp address, into the port and waited with anticipation. And waited, and waited, and eventually timed out: no IP address.
I am able to ping 10.199.199.129 from the DHCP server - so I know Im good there.
When I do a packet capture using cisco span, whether I capture at the ingress of the test client port, ingress/egress of vlan199, or ingress/egress of the DHCP server port, I see 4 DHCP request packets - all set with all of the IP slots to 0.0.0.0, and nothing set in the relay slot, and no replies from the server.
I am sure I'm overlooking something dumb, but I just cant spot it.
Can anyone give me a hand on this?
thanks for your help.
