ProCurve and Cisco VLANs

[John Tandy]

I have an HP 5304XL ProCurve switch. This switch connects to 8 Cisco 2950 switches. I have four VLANS. The Network is running Novell. The servers are connected to the procurve. All workstations can ping, and authenticate to the Servers and each other. However the VLANs cannot get a DHCP address if they are connected to the Cisco switches. If they connect directly to the HP it's fine.
Any Ideas?

Thank you,

John

This may help:

Otherwise if you could attach your running config from the 5300 and one of the 2950's (remove any sensitive info first), I'm sure someone can help you find out what's going wrong.

Hi

What you need is to include the command:
IP helper-address a.b.c.d (DHCP server IP) , in each Vlan you have configured.

Good Luck !!!

[John Tandy]

That did it. Thank you!!!!
