Question

Configuring DHCP helper on Cisco 877 router

Asked by: georgemason

Hi,

I have a requirement which I'm not sure is possible. I need to configure a Cisco DSL router with two internal VLANs, one for voice traffic and one for data. The site is small and so doesn't have a DHCP server, so I would like to use the router for DHCP. The trick is I want to use the router for DHCP for BOTH VLANs.

I've found lots of resources on the Cisco site and other places mentioning using ip helper etc. to forward DHCP requests to a central DHCP server, but none mention using the router itself to do the DHCP for both subnets.

Ideally I want to use an 877 router as they are quite affordable - I understand that it's not possible with an 857.

Any help (with config examples preferrably) would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

George

Hi,

Vlan Trunking (802.1Q) is needed to serve both VLANS.

So firstly you need the Advanced IP Services Cisco IOS Software Image
See: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/routers/ps380/ps6200/prod_qas0900aecd8028a982.html
Table 3

After that you need to configure on the router both VLANS and setup a VLAN trunk to the switch. Then you need to configure the DHCP pools

See enxample config: http://exewiki.exetel.com.au/index.php?title=Sample_Config_For_Cisco_877

If you don't have a managed switch that will support trunking you can assign IP addresses to multiple ports in your router and patch it in to two seperate switches.

An example of multiple pools are:

ip dhcp pool Pool1
   network 172.29.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 172.29.1.1
   dns-server 4.2.2.2
   lease 0 12


ip dhcp pool Pool2
   network 172.31.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 172.31.1.1
   dns-server 4.2.2.2
   lease 0 12


The router is smart enough to use the proper pool with the proper interface on the router. The key is making sure you have a router interface with an IP address that corresponds to teh DHCP pools.

@wiscom - that's exactly what I had in mind. What I need to know though, and what I didn't see in the example config, is how I can configure multiple scopes on the router so that it can give addresses on different subnets to devices on each vlan. Is that possible, and if so what commands would be required?

@canalins - looks like that might answer my question! Will do some testing next week and respond. Thanks.

Hi wiscom,

I am going to use a switch that supports VLANs and trunk to it - but I still need to have two DHCP scopes on the router, which is what I think was suggested in the other post by canallns.

I guess all I have to do is set up the DHCP pools as suggested by canallns and then set an appropriate IP on each VLAN for the router - i.e.

interface Vlan 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

interface Vlan 2
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

... then configure the scopes as previously posted. Will test all this and add to the post later in the week.

Thanks to all posters for their suggestions.

George

 

by: wiscomPosted on 2009-08-22 at 09:04:31ID: 25159125

Hi George,

Yes, that's the way. Each VLAN knows automatically which DHCP Scope it will use. Because it's looking to the Network address.

Go for it !!!

Slight complication to this problem, it's on an 877W router with wireless. So do I configure the IP addresses for this router on the BVI interfaces or the VLANs? Confused now, and it seemed so simple a moment before!

Thanks.

Assign your IPs to the BVI interface.

 

by: georgemasonPosted on 2009-09-04 at 08:48:40ID: 25260762

I've done that, but still not getting any DHCP on the interfaces mapped to the data VLAN. I'm obviously missing something, here's the abridged config so far....

Can you set one of your FastEthernet ports to your data VLAN and test it. I am comparing your config to a similar one I have done and it looks pretty good.

I would like to have you test it on a wired port and see if you are getting DHCP. If so, we have a wireless setup problem and not a DHCP setup problem. I found more difference in the wireless setup than the DHCP pools. That doesn't mean its not right, just a good test to help rule out some things.

Let me know what you find out.

Hi, sorry to have gone quiet on this. Got it working fine in the end, will get an updated config and post it for the benefit of other readers. Will assign points too but at the moment need to head out on site!

Thanks.

Hi, below is the working config - I used the default VLAN for voice in the end, and had to upgrade the IOS image from Advanced Security to Advanced IP Services (as the former didn't support more than two VLANs). Then I also added the VLANs to the internal VLAN database (process is described here: http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=29803)

Points to Canallns and wiscom for help getting to the solution

Comments helped me get to the solution although nobody gave the full solution. However the help was very useful and would have taken much longer without! Thanks.
