My problem is when I'am trying to use DHCP server to give out IP address the Ip address that it gives away is the default gateway of the DHCP server and it only gives ip address to a single PC the rest of the PC I get the error DHCP fail APIPA being used

Thanks sooo much all help will be greatly appreciated

  • What VLAN is the DHCP server on? Have you configured your scopes correctly?

It appears that some of your ports are in VLANs that do not have ip helper addresses on the router. They won't get addresses from your server.

On the dhcp side just verify your scopes are correct.

Make sure you can ping the dhcp server that is in your ip helper command from the switches. I have seen where ip helper was in place but the network the dhcp was on wasn't routed properly.

Verify your vlan interfaces that are gateways have ip helper addresses pointing to the right server/servers.

If that is all correct do some troubleshooting with Wireshark.

To see what servers are replying run Wireshark with a filter, capture the traffic and do release renew your address so it request an address.

  1. Plug the computer into the network. Wait for the interface to be active. Depending on spanning tree it could be close to a min.

  2. Start Wireshark and choose the right interface.

  3. Release RENEW your ip address. On windows open a command prompt and run this command.

This will do both release and renew. 

Ipconfig /release & & Ipconfig /renew
  1. After about 30 to 60 seconds stop the Wireshark capture and in the filter window put a filter in to see dhcp traffic.

I use... 

bootp.option.type == 53

You can also use this but it doesn't show all dhcp and bootp like the above filter...

udp port 68 or port 67

These captures will show what is responding. You may do this process several times to see if it looks like incorrect servers are responding. Sometimes you'll see no responses if there is an issue or more than one if you have a configuration error, a rogue dhcp server or if you run two dhcp servers (maybe half the scope on one server and the other half on another as a form of redundancy. In that case the first one to respond "wins" but you will most likely see them both respond).
