DHCP Across a Trunk

niall.wilkins · ‎11-04-2008

Hi everyone,

I am having trouble getting DHCP to work across a trunk port. I have configured DHCP pools for voice and data on a Cisco 2811 router. I have on of the routers FastEthernet 1/3 ports connected to a port 0/23 on a Cisco 2960 switch. On the router I have configured the following on the router:

no ip dhcp use vrf connected

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.2

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.2

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.1

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.3

ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.10.3

!

ip dhcp pool voice

network 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.10.2

option 150 ip 192.168.10.2

!

ip dhcp pool Data

network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

default-router 192.168.1.1

!

interface FastEthernet1/3

switchport access vlan 233

switchport mode trunk

switchport voice vlan 10

interface Vlan1

ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0

!

interface Vlan10

ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.0

!

interface Vlan233

ip address 192.168.233.43 255.255.255.0

On the 2960 switch I have the following configured:

switchport access vlan 233

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,10,233

switchport mode trunk

interface Vlan1

ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

no ip route-cache

!

interface Vlan10

description VOICE

ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0

no ip route-cache

!

interface Vlan233

ip address 192.168.233.41 255.255.255.0

interface FastEthernet0/1

switchport access vlan 20

switchport mode access

switchport voice vlan 10

When I plug an IP phone into FastEthernet 1/0 which gets is supposed to get an IP address via DHCP it never receives an IP address. How do you get DHCP to work across a trunk port?

Also when configuring the switch on the 2811 router I had to add all VLANS to the trunk I wasnt able to specify VLANS 1, 10 and 233 like I was on the switch.

Niall,

You need to use the "ip helper-address" statement on your 2960 uplink to the router. This will direct all DHCP requests to the DHCP server. Please follow the example below.

interface fa0/1

ip helper-address 192.168.1.1

HTH,

Mark

Mark Yeates · ‎11-04-2008

Scratch that....

Rereading the post I realized that is not the correct answer.

Have you created the layer 2 vlan on the 2960 switch?

switch(config)#vlan 10

If possible please post the configs for the switch and the router.

Mark

P.S. Is FastEthernet1/3 on your router the uplink to the switch? I would take out the "switchport access vlan 233" and "switchport voice vlan 10" if that is the case.

niall.wilkins · ‎11-04-2008

Hi,

VLAN 10 has been created on the 2960. FastEthernet 1/3 is the uplink to the FastEthernet 0/23 port on the switch.

wangchangjie · ‎11-04-2008

Hi niall,

C2960 is a L2 switch, hence, only 1 VLAN interface will be reflected up/up.

On the router (where it is doing L3), you might wish to try specify ip helper-address on the VLAN interfaces (1,10,233).

Hi ,

Could you double check if the DHCP service is running on the router.

use command service dhcp to start the services.

You need to change few configs in order proper troubleshoot the issue.

1. Please configure the port Fa 1/3 i.e the trunk port on the router as below :

interface FastEthernet1/3

switchport mode trunk

REMOVE THE FOLLOWING :

switchport access vlan 233

switchport voice vlan 10

2. Enable DHCP service on the router :

Config t# service dhcp

3. Check if you have a PC connected to the IP phone and its getting an IP address from Vlan 20.

Also remove "switchport access vlan 233" from Fa0/23 port.

Also, Please paste " show interface fa 0/23 switchport " from Switch and Show interface Fa 1/3 switchport " from the router.

Please paste the output of this command :

Switch#show interfaces fastEthernet 0/23 switchport --> Please put switchport at the back of it...

Paste it from the router as well.

Ok so its kind of working now. If I plug a PC in it gets an IP but the phone isnt so i will have to check my phone and call manager and dhcp voice pool settings. Thanks for the help.
