Setting up a DHCP Relay on a 2920-48G Switch (J9728A)

 

We have a new wan installed for are guest wifi network. I run our DHCP Server through Windows Server 2016 and I have added the second scope of IP addresses for the new wan. I have not activated it due to the fact I have 0 clues how to configure the switches for the DHCP Relay!
Here is a look at the vlan configuration - https://goo.gl/R2ruCf

Right now we have 3 vlans


1=Curric 10.128.204.1/32 - 255.255.254.0
2=Guest 10.144.204.2/32 - 255.255.254.0
50=Voice 10.132.76.2 - 255.255.255.0

vlan 50 is for our phones and is run separately from everything so I don't need to worry about that.
vlan 1 is our normal network and is what the Server 2016 DHCP uses.
vlan 2 is the new wan and will only be used for the guest network on the Xirrus AP's. The Xirrus AP's have the ability to pick up on vlan tags so I will be able to make a guest SSID and tell it to use vlan 2

So where I would love some help is how to configure the 2920-48G Switches (J9728A) with the DHCP Relay. We have the main one and 2 other ones in our other building. I have updated these switches in the past to WB.16.03.0003. I have looked through the GUI but it seems I have have to make these setting in the CLI which I do know how to get into but as far configuring the DHCP Relay I am lost.

Please help!

Thanks!

vlan 133
   name "Aruba Instant 133"
   tagged D15-D16
   ip address 172.20.133.1 255.255.255.0
   ip helper-address 172.20.100.169
   ip helper-address 172.20.100.188
   exit

In this case the .169 address is the Windows DHCP server, and .188 is the ClearPass server (so it can do DHCP fingerprinting).

Hello

When you are in the CLI, the only thing you have to do is:

Go to the configuration terminal:

config t

- Go into the vlan you want DHCP in:

vlan 2

- configure a DHCP helper adress:

ip helper-address <Ip adress DHCP server>

And you should be good to go.

Kind regards

Re: Setting up a DHCP Relay on a 2920-48G Switch (J9728A)

So I have this working but in our second building it does not work. Only thing different is we run fiber to this switch. I just installed a new switch off the main one that works and that one has no issue and the vlan has no issues. 

The fiber switch set to manual ip's for the vlan 2 just do not connect to the dhcp server?

Any ideas why??

Turns out on that vlan I did not have the fiber port tagged whitch caused the issue.. 

all good!
