IP Helper Address for DHCP

I am not sure where to add the IP Helper Address for DHCP in our cisco switch. I am assisting a contract company. The DHCP server is WIN2008. I have already installed the necessary roles and DHCP is not handing out IP addresses. I have made sure that there is not any other DHCP servers on the network and there is not. I have restarted the server, services, authorized/unathorized with no availability. So, after some research I read about the IP Helper address. I have logged into the switch, but I am unsure where I need the command entered for it to possibly work.

Do you have the server trunked to the same vlans you are try to hand out dhcp on.  IP helper is for forwarding packets from one vlan to another.  It should make no difference for dhcp for the vlans the dhcp server is on

http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=330807&seqNum=9

Do you have the ranges and other settings configured on the dhcp server? - See more at: http://www.itninja.com/question/ip-helper-address-for-dhcp#sthash.chBrz4H6.dpuf
Do you have the address pools and other settings configured on the dhcp server?




Comments:
  • Yes, the whole network is on 192.168.1.1 -- 192.168.1.254

    I did not configure this switch initially. - akilpatrick 10 years ago
    • If I remember you have a k2000 also. To see if it the server vs the network, do a test and temp activate dhcp on the k2000 for a small range and see if machines get IP's. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
      • I do have a k2000 at my primary job. However, this is for a contract company. They do not have any Kace products. - akilpatrick 10 years ago
      • Did you configure the address pool? What do the dhcp logs show on the server. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
    • since you are on a single vlan iphelper should make no difference. could be acl's or some needed protocol is off.

      http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/dynamic-address-allocation-resolution/27470-100.html#roledhcpbootprelay - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
      • I have already configured the address pool. restarted services, authorized/unathorized dhcp. I have done everything I can think of. I have done this before for another company.

        In the end, I configured another server running the same server OS and installed all the roles and restarted the server and instantly IP address leases were being issued. Weird! Appreciate your help. - akilpatrick 10 years ago
