Clients not receiving addresses from DHCP

nhabe · ‎03-07-2014

I have a Cisco 2811 router and have configured it to be a DHCP server at a remote site. It seems like it should be pretty straight forward to configure DHCP. Apparently I'm missing something because I can't get clients to receive an address. Below are the applicable parts of the config. I also have tried associating the DHCP pool with the Claims vrf and that did not work either.

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.30.0 10.10.30.99

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.30.201 10.10.30.255

ip dhcp pool Claims_Office

network 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0

domain-name fmi.com

default-router 10.10.30.253

Nathan,

I think the issue is with your exclusions

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.30.0 10.10.30.99

This will exclude the full subnet

Can you try changing it to

!

no ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.30.0 10.10.30.99

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.10.30.1 10.10.30.99

!

Then retry a dhcp test

See what the output from show ip dhcp pool looks like before and after the change

Alex.

Unfortunately that didn't work. Here is the output before:

Pool Claims_Office :
Utilization mark (high/low)    : 100 / 0
Subnet size (first/next)       : 0 / 0
Total addresses                : 254
Leased addresses               : 0
Pending event                  : none
1 subnet is currently in the pool :
Current index        IP address range                    Leased addresses
10.10.30.1           10.10.30.1       - 10.10.30.254      0

And after:

Pool Claims_Office :
Utilization mark (high/low)    : 100 / 0
Subnet size (first/next)       : 0 / 0
Total addresses                : 254
Leased addresses               : 0
Pending event                  : none
1 subnet is currently in the pool :
Current index        IP address range                    Leased addresses
10.10.30.1           10.10.30.1       - 10.10.30.254      0

What I want is for it to assign addresses from 10.10.30.100-199
