Author Using DHCP across VLANs
-Auto-

2004-04-01, 6:25 pm

Have a Catalyst 4006 w/Sup III+ engine (Native
IOS). Switch is configured with Vlans 1, 10,
20, 30.

Vlan 1 = management
Vlan 10 = Servers
Vlan 20 = Printers
Vlan 30 = Clients

IP routing is enabled.

Each vlan interface is configured with a different
subnet: vlan 10 = .224.0/25, vlan 20 = .224.128/25
and vlan 30 = .225.0/24

Hosts on vlan's 10 and 20 are static IP'd.

The DHCP server resides in Vlan 10 with
a .224.xx/25 address. However all of the clients
in Vlan 30 need to draw .225/24 IPs from the
DHCP server residing in Vlan 10.

Will the DHCP broadcasts traverse the vlans without
further configuration or must I do something more?
Research indicates routers will not automatically
forward DHCP broadcasts. However I'm routing
within the switch.

Read/google'd about Boot relay and DHCP but nothing
talks to getting DHCP across vlans like I'm trying to
do.

Any ideas?

THanks.

Is this a L3 switch? If so, you need to configure helper addresses.

See: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/winnt_dg.htm (search for dhcp
relay)

If its a layer three switch add the following on the Vlan interface where
the clients need to reach the DHCP server:
Interface Vlan30
ip helper-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your DHCP Server on Vlan10.

If the Vlan Interface does not exist you will have to create it and
configure it.

Steve.

Thanks Steve! Yes it's a layer 3 switch and all the vlan interfaces
are configured with IP addresses. Will use the info you've
provided.

make sure you have service dhcp enabled as well.

Try using an ip helper address with 'no service dhcp'. It doesnt work.
