Vlan and DHCP problem after software upgrade

[JeffKWI]

We recently performed some upgrades to "preferred software" on our edge switches, and are now having problems passing DHCP traffic accross Vlans. Our DHCP serves out address to our PCs and VoIP Phones. PCs reside on Vlan60 and phone on Vlan61.

Our DHCP server currently gives out 10.1.60.xxx addresses on Vlan60 and 10.1.61.xxx addresses on Vlan61. This currently works (PCs and Phones) on the core switch, and but stopped working on our edge switch after the sofware upgrade on the edges. The PC will get a .60 address, but the VoIP phones will never get a .61 address.

Below is information on the swtiches on how the ports in question are tagged. I appreciate any help and suggestions on what's wrong.

K.15.02.0005 is not the latest code. I don't remember experiencing DHCP(v4) problems with that K.15.02.0005 version, but DHCPv6 was not working till the latest K.15.04.0003 release.


IMHO, get K.15.04.0003 and try again.

PS, I would upgrade your 5406 & 3500's to this latest code.

Thanks, I will udpate to the latest and report back my results.

Unless you have configured your DHCP server to be multi-homed with VLAN tagging support enabled I would remove the VLAN61 tag from the port connecting to it.
