Another thing... on the remote routers there are two ip addresses bound to the Ethernet interface and the addresses. &nbsp;We have an additional ip secondary bound to each of our routers ethernet ports.

Try using the &quot;ip dhcp-server&quot; global command with the ip helper-address command on the far remote router.<br />
<br />
Router(config)#ip dhcp-server &lt;ip of dhcp server&gt;
</div>


Try using the "ip dhcp-server" global command with the ip helper-address command on the far remote router.

Router(config)#ip dhcp-server <ip of dhcp server>

Another thought... &nbsp; Is the scope on the server for branch C correctly configured with a default gateway address of the primary IP address of the ethernet interface of the router.

No... it is set to the secondary which works at 3 other branches just not the one we are currently working on. &nbsp;We are suspecting an older version of Cisco IOS.

We have a branch (branch C) that will not pull dhcp even though we have setup the ip helper and we have it working at other branches. &nbsp;Basically the DHCP server is two hops away. &nbsp;We tried to setup a DHCP server 1 hop away for testing and it would not grab there either. &nbsp;Any thoughts on where to start??? Since we have it working at other branches we're a bit stumped.<br />

Thanks!

Cisco IP helper / DHCP Issue

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
