 switchport access vlan 6
 spanning-tree portfast

 

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/46
 description Link to DHCP Server (10.10.33.11)
 switchport mode trunk
 spanning-tree portfast

Why is the port for the DHCP server a trunk link ?

Jon

Hi Jon,

I thought it needed because the DHCP is giving IPs to more than one vlan. Is it right?

No, that is what your "ip helper-address .." commands do.

If the server is not trunking on it's network interface then you need to modify the configuration of the port connecting to the server ie. remove the trunk part and make it an access port in vlan 4.

Jon

Thanks Jon, I'll give it a try and let you know how it worked out.

Hello Jon,

I changed the conf. on the interface connected to the server to access on its proper vlan. Still I'm unable to get an ip.

Here's how the config looks now:

 

interface Vlan3

 ip address 10.10.32.129 255.255.255.224


interface Vlan4
 description Link to SVR_PTR

interface Vlan6

 ip address 10.10.35.250 255.255.255.0
 ip helper-address 10.10.33.11


interface Vlan7
 description link to WIRELESS USERS
 ip address 10.10.36.1 255.255.255.0
 ip helper-address 10.10.33.11


interface GigabitEthernet1/0/47
 description Link to HP Servers
 switchport access vlan 4

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/17

Are you sure the scopes have been activated on the DHCP server ?

I assume you are using a scope per subnet ?

Also noticed you don't have an interface for vlan 5 with an ip helper-address, is tha just missing from your post ?

Jon

Hello Jon,

 

The scopes are all activated.

The interface vlan5 and ip helper do exist. I excluded from the post. 

I'll reset the switch to factory default and reconfigure . 

Will let you know how it goes.

 

Thanks,

Still Having problems:

This is what the debug looks like:
