Yes really sir…

But I am getting DHCP IP for VLAN 10 from the respective DHCP server.. my issue is I want to get DHCP IP from that VLAN 10 DHCP server to VLAN 170 clients also….

That VLAN 10 traffic should be on VLAN 170.

I can’t change in each VLAN in every laptop.
For your information, I am using layer 3 advanced switch to do this.

i also tried by enabling the IP helper in the switch but it is not happening ..

please advice me how to handle this… but it is possible.. but some where i am lagging.. i want that tip…

with regards

You will need to configure the switch ports to be access ports for the VLAN where you desire these devices to be. This enables the switch to forward the DHCP requests tagged with the appropriate subnet request.

In a Cisco switch/router config, you’d put (in the vlan configuration for 170) something like:

IP helper-address 10.102.1.2

This will direct the DHCP broadcast requests to the server with multiple scopes defined. It will then know enough to forward the response back to the originating router via the giADDR field, who will in turn send the packet out to the requesting client.

If your routing works properly between the 2 subnets, AND you can put the “helper-address” or equivalent into the routing portion of the switch, AND the corresponding scope is properly defined, those clients should get DHCP addresses.

What if Ihave a problemmm with DHCP severs that have the sever cliet scope?

And what if the clients scope is overlapping each other.

Mpalomo70,
You have a better chance of getting a response if you ask a new question to the community.

Thanks,

In addition to having the helper address on the distant subnet forwarding to the DHCP server(s), you have to also configure the additional scope(s) on the DHCP server.
On the DHCP server, you have to have subnet 192.168.10.1/22 defined with the addresses you want for VLAN 170; along with ITS gateway. You can rely on global defaults (if you defined them that way) for DNS, WINS, etc. WHEN the DHCP server gets the forwarded request from the clients on the 170 VLAN (this through the helper address forwarding), the server will then see the header with the GIADDR field that SAYS this request is coming from subnet 192.168.10.1/22 and will assign an address out of THAT pool of addresses, rather than the one associated with it’s directly-attached interface.

Here is what you need to do in order to achieve this.

1. on your router:

conf
t

int
fa0/0.1 “THIS IS FOR VLAN-10 SWITCHING”

encap
dot1Q 1

ip
address 10.102.1.140 255.255.255.0

ip
helper-address 10.20.102.1

no shut

exit

int
fa0/0.2 “THIS IS FOR VLAN-170 SWITCHING”

encap
dot1Q 2

ip
address 192.168.10.140 255.255.255.0

ip
helper-address 10.102.1.2

no shut

exit

end

wr
mem

2. On your switch:
conf t
int vlan 10
ip address 10.102.1.150 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.102.1.2
no shut
exit
int vlan 170
ip address 192.168.10.150 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 10.102.1.2
no shut
end
wr mem

3. On your DHCP
define your IP ranges for vlan 10 “10.102.1.155 – 10.102.1.234″
set the default gateway “router” to the routers encap ip address configured earlier in this case it would be 10.102.1.140
same for the vlan 170 “192.168.10.155 – 192.168.10.234″
gateway “router” 192.168.10.142

once you are done use the switchport command to assign each port to the vlan you want and make sure to put the port that is connected directly to your router in TRUNK mode.
