Solved: 2811 + HWIC-4ESW - DHCP on the switch ports ?

ralfw · ‎07-11-2007

Hello,

i have a Cisco router 2811 (IOS 12.4) with a etherswitch modul HWIC-4ESW and i want DHCP

on the switch ports. Is this possible ?

I get DHCP working on the router ports, but

not on the switch ports and i wonder if that

is possible at all.. i don't want to use an

external DHCP server.

If it not possible with the HWIC-4ESW card,

would it be possible with the NME-16ES-1G

card ? Anyone knows this ?

Thanks

Ralf

Hi,

I think that IOS DHCP functionality can operate with the HWIC-4ESW with no problems, can you please post your configurations, you should need to configure interface vlan 1 (assuming that you are operating the HWIC ports as layer 2 ports in VLAN1)with the IP address of the default gateway of the DHCP pool, please give it a try and feed back us.

HTH,

Did you create the layer 2 vlans in the vlan database for those vlans you assigned to the switchport, if not it won't work. Do a show vlan-switch brief and see if your vlan 71 and 72 show up .

Your are right, the vlans didn't show up in the vlan database, i configured vtp before, but somehow while testing i must lost the entries in the database. I added the vlans per hand and now

it works fine. Thanks alot !
