Hello Boris,

Most of the time, iphelpers are doing the job. Can you explain what is ‘not 
working’ ?

In your current setup, the DHCP server is running on the switch at the edge or 
is it on a ‘core switch’ ? Let’s say you have 3 access switches, connected back 
to one core switch, but doing L3 (VLANs stays at the access switches level). 
DHCP server is on the access switches or on the core switch ?

The things is, I’m unsure if, when the DHCP server running on the same switch 
where the VLAN is ending (L2 connectivity), iphelpers can do the job.

If you can share a network design, that’d be great… I guess… ;)

(Sorry if it was part of a previous discussion, I clicked the link which was 
leading me to another previous conversation, which was also leading me to 
another discussion… I’ve been lost in the Matrix while trying to figure out 
which conversation was the initial one!)

Cheers!
dw.

Hello all,

I have raised the issue previously:

http://www.mail-archive.com/packetfence-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg08765.html

Basically, the issue is that I am trying to run a DHCP server on my Cisco IOS 
(Catalyst) switches while I run my PF server that only has IP connectivity to 
them (no VLAN connectivity as VLAN's are local to the switches).

The setup requires that IP update/status info for all nodes be communicated 
back to the PF server. That is not happening for some reason - at least not via 
the Cisco's "ip helper-address" mechanism.

So the question fundamentally is - how do I do that? What implementations do 
any of you have out there that accomplish it? Sounds like some people have DHCP 
servers separate from PF and switches. OK, that is an idea. What other 
implementations are out there?

If you don't mind sharing that I will be very thankful.

Cheers,

Boris.
