Hi all,
An interface has been configured on a dhcp-client router to request for IP
address via DHCP (ip address dhcp) under interface configuration mode. A DHCP
server has been configured with a pool to purposefully assign a specific IP
address to the client, i.e. 10.1.37.7. The following is what i've configured
on the server-end in the dhcp-pool:
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.37.1 10.1.37.6
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.37.8 10.1.37.254
!
ip dhcp pool DHCP_POOL
network 10.1.37.0 255.255.255.0
lease infinite
!
And i keep getting the following message prompt on the server-end. It seems
the DISCOVER packet is received from the client, but server fails to
allocate..
DHCPD: DHCPDISCOVER received from client
0063.6973.636f.2d63.6330.362e.3038.6638.2e66.3130.302d.4469.31 on interface
Virtual-Access2.1.
DHCPD: Allocate an address without class information (10.1.37.0)
I noticed that on the server it has already assigned 10.1.37.7 - but not to
the client, besides on this segment there're only 2 routers, R3 (dhcp server)
and SW1 (dhcp client). Despite numerous attempts to clear the binding and
reload both routers, R3 still fails to assign 10.1.37.7 to SW1.
However, if i remove the "ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.37.1 10.1.37.6", the
server-end router succesfully assigns 10.1.37.1 to the client - but i want it
to assign 10.1.37.7. Am i missing anything here?
Thanks in advance guys.
Cheers,
-K
