DHCP Issues

Hello All,

I need some urgent assistance with some DHCP Issues in my network.

Recently we noticed users having problems getting IP addresses from IOS DHCP Server.

Please see my configs below:

3750X STACK (IOS Version 12.2(58r)SE, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1))

ip dhcp excluded-address 172.20.55.1 172.20.55.20

ip dhcp excluded-address 172.20.55.240 172.20.55.254

ip dhcp pool VLAN55

   network 172.20.55.0 255.255.255.0

   default-router 172.20.55.254

   dns-server 172.20.180.9 172.20.180.10

   option 43 ascii 172.20.35.2

There are two 2960s (access layer switches) connecting to the 3750.

In this vlan, both LAN and wireless users are not more than 30, but the switch issues out all available IP addresses within five hours or so, hence it cant respond with an IP address for any new DHCP request. Hence, users are not able to get IP address until we clear the DHCP binding and sometimes restart DHCP service on the switch.

This issues is really disturbing me. I have enabled DHCP snooping on the 3750 but the problem persists. I'm having similar issue with another 3560 switch, with similar configuration and also connecting to two 2960 access layer switches.

Yet I have tens of other 3650s as dhcp servers in other vlans with no problem.

Here pasted below is the output from the 3750 just few hours after clearing the dhcp binding and restarting the dhcp service:

Where is the switch getting that number of dhcp request when only about 30 users are in the vlan?

I even enabled dhcp snooping but the problem persists. Now I have to clear dhcp binding and restart dhcp service almost every four hours.

Can you please help me here?

Thank you.

Hi Alabedekenny,

Please can you try upgarding or downgrading the IOS .

I dont think it is the IOS because I have several other switches with the same IOS, and not giving problem.

Thanks

Just glancing it looks like no mac addresses are repeated. And you have wireless. Where is this located? Any chance random passers by can attach to your ssid?

Yes I have wireless, but it is very secured.

I'm sure there's no chance that random passers by can connect to the network.

It's a very strance thing I still do not understand how to solve.

Thanks for your help.
