DHCP over vlans

[Ryan1979]

The basic problem is I can not get DHCP to assign addresses over vlans on HP switches (but i can on cisco).

Overview

We have a cisco 3750 gig switch at the core setup in a stack. This is doing our routing and has
all the necessary vlans on it. In this case I am trying to get vlan 18 to work. vlan 18 is setup on the
3750 and has a default gaterway of 10.12.18.254/24. The DHCP server is on vlan 1 and address is 10.12.0.252/21.
(This used to be a flat network hence the large segment). For the .18 scope the Router address (under advanced)
is set to 10.12.18.254/24.

We have 9 other vlans with ciscs2950 on the edge and they work fine, i just get the HP to. If i use a cisco on subnet 18
it works fine aswell.

The configs are as attached for the cisco3750 and the HP2650.

Questions:
1. How do i get it to work?
2. Do i need a ip helper on the HP edge 3650 (I thought i only needed this on the router)?
3. I would assume i do not need dhcp-relay enabled on the HP edge 2650?
4. Any other hints please.

Hi

Based on the config you posted, i think you missed Vlan18 on the Cisco 3750, or you forgot to create it.

Second thing, you need to configure a default gateway for your 2600 switch to your Router's IP address (Vlan1 IP).

After that, connect a PC on Vlan18 on the 2600 switch and try to ping the core switch (vlan1-vlan18) and the DHCP server .... etc.

I assume that IP Routing is done on the 3650 switch, so IP helper-address in needed for sure since your DHCP server on a different Vlan.

Please check your DHCP scope for Vlan18 and for testing, just configure a PC with all the parameters you did in this scope Statically and try to test this PC's communication on the network.

Good Luck !!!

Thanks for the response

The posting was wrong, there is a vlan for 18 already and a default gateway.

When i create a static IP i cant connect to anything still however I am assured by a very senior HP tech it is a cisco problem, not a HP one. So back to the drawing board.

Thanks anyway.

Hi Ryan

I would like to ask you if you can draw a small drawing shows how are your switches connected, with port numbers.

Thanks

Hi, Is it something to do with the VLAN tagging setup?

I also don't think you will need the IP-Helper command on the HP device as it is not performing any inter-valn routing, so broadcasts(DHCP) will not be dropped.

To what interface on the cisco does the hp device attach?

A drawing would be handy.... :-)

[Ryan1979]

Is was a cisco trunking issue where is was no running on 802.1q.

Thanks for all those who commented.
