DHCP problem - all addresses excluded

[fearless.rabbit]

Hi guys, I seem to have a weird DHCP problem with one of my VLANs. It is a pool of 30 addresses, of which all 30 seem to be excluded! None of them are really excluded with ip dhcp excluded-address command.. Still, show ip dhcp pool shows there are no addresses left. Is there something Im missing?

Range is 172.18.2.129-158. Two shots of the relevant config are attached. Any help would be appreciated!

Could it be that it is Subnetting 101?! I will have to convince my superiors to try changing the scope. Thanks in advance for all of you who chipped in!

Yes it could be. You should revise your IP addressing and subnetting in this network. It can have hierarchy but it is done when you have your smaller networks (higher perfix) after the bigger networks (lower prefix). Otherwise you can have a lot of unpredictable outputs.

Best regards,
