Is anyone aware of any 'unique' characteristics regarding the DHCP (client) implementation on PIX 5.x? I tried assigning an IP to the outside interface via dhcp with a linksys switch dhcp server and it failed. When I plugged it straight into my cable modem and repeated the process, it worked just fine. Perhaps the linksys dhcp server component is flawed somehow (even though it works just fine for assigning addresses to other DHCP clients (wintel boxes))?? I replicated the failure three times and also ran debug on the PIX dhcp function with no useful results. (Given the rampant rumors re instability, I already placed knee pads under the chassis, but oddly enough that didn't help.) The only thing I could find online was the following excerpt: Note: Use of the DHCP client feature to acquire an IP address from a generic DHCP server is not supported. (source: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/iaabu/pix/pix_v53/config/advanced.htm#xtocid57942 ) [So can I assume that my cable company has invested some portion of my huge monthly bills in a "name brand" DHCP server?] Thanks for any info. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
