I am trying to get DHCP to work on a VLAN. I have 3 VLANS and they are .10, .11, .12.

.11 and .12 are working fine, they are getting ip addresses and their corresponding gateways from the DHCP server.

.10 hosts are getting ip addresses but are not getting their .10 gateway.

My DHCP server is 192.168.10.254 and is connected to the .10 Switch for VLAN 10.

Here is my VLAN 10 setup for the switch. What could be stopping it from forwarding all information out to VLAN 10 hosts.

I have already set up DHCP Pools in the DHCP server also.

  • It is a similar question, my apologies. I just cant seem to understand why I cant get it working correctly when the other ones do work correctly.

  • I fixed the problem. The DHCP Pool for .10 was conflicting with a default pool also with a .10 start address. I just changed the default. Everything is working now.

Reset to default

Since you're getting an IP address DHCP seems to be working correctly. The default gateway for a VLAN must be configured in the DHCP scope server options on the DHCP server.

  • Its working now thankfully. One Pool conflicting with another. Every host on every VLAN has all the details they need now. Everything can ping Everything now.

Ideally there is a single DHCP server located on a unique subnet. You simply add an ip helper-address (in Cisco IOS lingo) to each subnet's gateway interface so that DHCP broadcast requests get unicast forwarded to the centralized DHCP server (or cluster of servers). In other words you should not need to deploy a single DHCP server for each subnet. Most network admins prefer to manage all DHCP scopes from a single box, it just makes things more tidy/easy.

  • I didn't downvote, but your answer doesn't seem to address the OPs question/problem. It's more like "general advice."

  • You'll notice that the OP has ip helper already configured. The OP is asking why one out of several subnets is not getting addresses.
