Cisco SG500 and ip helper-address

[ashnil_r80]

Hi all

I need your help

I have a Cisco SG500 (yeah I know, budget issues) which acts as L3 has 3 Vlans 200,300,400. If I configure all client nodes with static IP's, I'm able to ping between vlan's. Now that is not practical. I need to get automatic IP's on VLAN 200 and 300. I have to setup a DHCP server which I have on a Windows 2008R2 server with the correct settings. The problem is I'm not able to get any IP's on my client. PLEASE HELP

Following is my switch config

v1.3.5.58 / R750_NIK_1_35_647_358
CLI v1.0
set system mode router queues-mode 4

Hi,

I see that your DHCP server is on VLAN 200 and relay is set only on VLAN 300. So I guess on 200 is working fine as it is the same broadcast domain.

And when you are testing on VLAN 300 can you do packet capture on Windows 2008 server? 

Note: perhaps Windows server DHCP services needs to be restarted after configuration.

Regards ,

Hi,

I understand this post is from a year ago.  Were you able to find out what's wrong?  I'm facing the same problem. 

Thanks!

Fix the problem use this.

The Cisco SMB switches operate differently.

The IP Helper command on these units is just for UDP forwarding of odd services.

There are dedicated commands for DHCP relay:

ip dhcp relay address XXX.XX.XX.XX
ip dhcp relay enable
ip dhcp information option
ipv6 dhcp relay destination XXXX:XXX:XXXX:XX:XX

Then, on each SVI, you enable DHCP Relay as needed (you do not enable DHCP relay on the SVI directly connected to the DHCP server):

interface vlan XX
 ip dhcp relay enable
