Here is a quick diagram. Forgive my lack of ascii prowess. IP's changed to
protect the innocent.
DHCP server vlan 100 IP address 10.10.100.100
3750 switch A - VLAN 100 address 10.10.100.1 connected to DHCP server
3750 switch A- VLAN 101 address 10.10.101.1 connection to 7301 router
7301 router A - VLAN 101 address 10.10.101.100 connection to 3750 switch
7301 router A- Interface g0/1 ip address 10.10.50.1 / 24 ip helper address
pointing to 10.10.100.100
DHCP client (3750 switch B with ip address dhcp on g1/1) connected to 7301
router
Routing uses very basic EIGRP with network 10.0.0.0 everywhere
With the setup above the dhcp server would see the address coming in as a
different subnet then the expected 10.10.50.0 / 24 so the lease allocation
would fail.
When I inserted another router in between the 7301 and the 3750 B switch and
moved the ip helper address command to that router everything worked fine.
No other changes were made. The message from the DHCP server was unable to
allocate address unknown error.
Couldn't find any similar behavior on Cisco or google.
Has anyone seen strangeness such as this before?
Thanks,
