2500 WLC Primary DHCP Server

Hello,
If I set a primary DHCP server in the interface configuration, or if I override DHCP in the WLAN Configuration.
Which interface does the WLC use to try and connect to the DHCP on behalf of the wireless clients?
IF
A) The dhcp server is not on any of the configured subnets.
B) The DHCP server is on a different interface's subnet.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Hello Stuart,
As per your query i can propose the following solution-
The interface will be Management interface
IF
A) The dhcp server is not on any of the configured subnets.
B) The DHCP server is on a different interface's subnet.
For more information you can go through the link-

Hope this will work.

  • Using one controller as primary DHCP server for 2 or more controllers

    Here's my setup
    2 - 5508 controllers (40 APs per controller) running 6.0.196.0 (100 user license per controller)
    about 80 mixed - 1142 and 1252 APs, trying to put 40 APs on each controller
    One subnet connects two controllers together on the management interface on port 1 on both controllers. 10.x.x.x addresses.
    Port 2 on each controller (LAG not used) connects to a DMZ via dynamic interfaces for user traffic, 172.x.x.x addresses.
    I want to use one controller for all clients to get their DHCP addresses from (no matter what controller their AP is on)
    as a primary DHCP server (controller A as primary), then i'd like to point the clients to the other controller (controller B) to be used as a backup DHCP server in case Controller A fails. Also, the APs are setup to have the correct primary and secondary controllers under their high availability setting as well as the mobility group information.
    I want to avoid splitting my DHCP scopes between controllers, and I don't have a DHCP server dedicated to this project, so the 5508s should be able to do the job. Or at least I thought.
    When configuring the controllers with the proper DHCP scopes, this only seems to work for clients connecting to controller A. Clients on controller B don't get an address from controller A when pointing to that controller, in fact, the wierd thing is that debugging shows DHCP requests going out of port 2 (DMZ traffic) instead of port 1 (management) on controller B. Shouldn't they be going out of the interface that is specified with the DHCP configuration in the dynamic interface? And I don't have "override" turned on in the WLAN configuration so the DHCP server should be taken from the dynamic interface that the user resides on.
    Mobility groups are configured correctly between the two controllers and both the control and data paths are up between the two controllers. Another wierd thing, both controllers management interfaces are on the same subnet, no acls or filters, when the mobility groups are configured, controller A can ping controller B, but controller B cannot ping A. The status still shows as UP/UP in the mobility members windows, but they use mPing which seems to work fine. Remove the mobility group configuration and ping works just fine between the boxes. I don't know if this is related to my DHCP issues, but it would seem that if I put the controller A's management address in the dynamic interface configuration for DHCP on controller B, my clients on B should get an address from A's DHCP pool. Controller A's dynamic interfaces all point to controller A's management interface and they work just fine.
    I'm trying to load ballance my AP distribution between two boxes, and I'm also trying to have some controller redundancy.
    Controller A works just fine, it's in production. Trying to add another controller B to talk A for DHCP is the issue.
    Anyone have any clues?
    -Blair

    I guess i was under the impression that when mobility groups were cofigured, the lease time, along with other client information (mac address, IP address and such), would replicated from one controller to the other controller over the EoIP tunnel.  If that's not the case, then obviously I'll have to look elsewhere.
    Also, does this mean that it will not work, or just that it's not recommended.  If it does work and I have to fix something, at least I can move on with my testing, all while pursuing a DHCP server.  It doesn't sound like using an AP as a DHCP server is any better than using the controllers for that same purpose.
    Thank you for the quick response.

  • WLC as DHCP server problems

    Hi
          My 5508 WLC which runs version 7.4.100.60 is configured as a DHCP server for the AP management and here's my problem:
    Client can not get the address,I am in  location at 1F of AP, obtain an IP address and associated to this AP, but I got to address is the address section 2F instead of 1F address above. In this WLC the AP, power and channel have not been optimized, the adjacent channels are AP 1, the power display is 1.
    Last night I test, disconnect reconnect several times, I was able to get to the same network to a different IP address.My AP is 1602I. LoaderVersion 15.2<2> JAX . This is why ?

  • 5500 Series WLC internal DHCP Server - Exclusion?

    Hi there,
    We're using the internal DHCP server on our 5500 Series WLC which works fine.
    However on one WLAN we ran out of addresses so changed the subnet from a /25 to a /24.
    The problem is that the router/gateway is still in the middle (124/125/126) and not easily changed.
    I've moved the WLC interface to the top of the subnet (251) but the router is more difficult as its externally managed/controlled.
    So is there a way we can create a DHCP pool of .1 through 250 on a /24 mask but exclude 124/125/126?
    Thanks
    Mike
    PS - Router subnet masks were changed so can see whole subnet.

    Mike,
        The WLC isn't a fully functional DHCP server, it only allows you to define what is in scope, not what is out of scope.  Now if you have a cisco router/switch, you could use that for the DHCP server and specifically exclude the necessary addresses.
    HTH,
    Steve

    You can use the internal dhcp, but you need to set the primary dhcp as the management ip. So in your dynamic interface, your primary dhcp is configure with the wlc management ip address. Dhcp proxy also needs to be enabled and is enabled by default.

  • WLC 5508 Internal DHCP server issues

    Hi,
    I am hoping to get your feedback around the dhcp issues I am facing with Two Centrally Switched Wireless LANs. I have tried to explain the setup and the problems below and would appreciate it if anyone can suggest a solution for the problems I am facing:
    The setup is as follows:
    - I have a WLC 5508 which has been configured with 4 SSIDs, out of which 2 are using Central Authentication and Switching.
    - I have an LWAP connected to the WLC in HREAP mode.
    - WLC is configured as the DHCP server for clients connecting to the SSID 'Guest'. For the rest, I am using external dhcp server.
    - Only one scope for Guest Interface is setup on the WLC. 
    Problems:
    1. As far as I know, for WLC to act as internal dhcp server, it is mandatory to have the proxy enabled, but the Clients connecting to SSID 'Internet' are
    unable to get an ip address from the external dhcp server, if dhcp proxy is enabled on the WLC. If i disable the proxy, it all works fine.
    2. DHCP does not release the ip addresses assigned to clients even after they are logged out.
    3. If a machine which was earlier connected to 'Guest' SSID connects to the 'Internet' SSID, it requests the same ip it was assigned by the WLC which it was assigned under 'Guest', but gets tagged with the Vlan configured on the management interface.

    Hi All,
    I have a similar issue where Wireless clients are not receiving automatic addressing from an internal DHCP server. I have multiple interfaces configured on the WLC which are connected to separate VLANS. The manually specified DHCP primary server entry is the same on all interfaces. Some clients are able to authenticate and receive automatic IP configuration but some clients are failing the address assignment process. I have checked connectivity between the WLC and DHCP server, this is confirmed as working. When I carry out a "debug dhcp packet enable", I get the following outputs which seems as if the DHCP discover request from the client is skipped. Your thoughts and inputs on this are appreciated.

  • DHCP Failover / Migrate DHCP Server to another Machine

    We have DHCP Server Installed in Domain Controller with Windows Server 2008 R2 Based OS.
    I have Checked that there is no way to make the DHCP Failover in Server 2008 R2.
    Can anyone help me to get some level of Failover in DHCP?
    or
    If I want to migrate the DHCP to Server 2012 what is the Best Practice?

    Hello,
    There is no big challenge for configuring DHCP failover in Windows 2008 platform. Kindly go through with this link for configuring DHCP failover. I am sure it will help you to completing your task.

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee405263(v=ws.10).aspx
    Process of Migration DHCP Server 2008R2 to Windows 2012
    • Firstly, you can disable the DHCP role in Windows Server 2008 R2. However, if the Windows Server 2012 is down, the clients cannot renew their IP lease duration and obtain IP address.
    Therefore, it is recommended to leave the DHCP role in Windows Server 2008 R2 and deploy high availability. Windows Server 2012 brings the new feature: DHCP failover. However it requires both DHCP Servers are Windows Server 2012. Consider another Server
    is Windows Server 2008 R2, we have to choose one of the following:
    >> DHCP in a Windows failover cluster. This option places the DHCP server in a cluster with an additional server configured with the DHCP service that assumes the load if the primary DHCP server fails. The clustering deployment option uses
    a single shared storage. This makes the storage a single point of failure, and requires additional investment in redundancy for storage. In addition, clustering involves relatively complex setup and maintenance.
    >> Split scope DHCP. Split scope DHCP uses two independent DHCP servers that share responsibility for a scope. Typically 70% of the addresses in the scope are assigned to the primary server and the remaining 30% are assigned to the backup server.
    If clients cannot reach the primary server then they can get an IP configuration from the secondary server. Split scope deployment does not provide IP address continuity and is unusable in scenarios where the scope is already running at high utilization of
    address space, which is very common with Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4).

  • Can I use ASA to be a DHCP Server use in WLC wireless Client

    I want to use ASA to be a DHCP Server for Wireless Client not it can't.
    I check the debug log in WLC, I confirm the WLC have send the request to ASA.
    In the ASA, it don't have any hits in the rule when the WLC send the DHCP relay request.
    I have try don't use dhcp relay in WLC but don't success. Anybody have the same case with me? And Is the ASA can't support DHCP relay agent to request to get the IP Addr.
    P.S. In the Network Design limitation so I can't use WLC to be DHCP Server.
    Equipment:
    ASA5510
    WLC4402
    How can I fix it.
    Thank you very much

    The issue is that the ASA doesn't accept DHCP requests from a relay agent, only broadcast DHCP requests. In the 4.2 version for the controllers there is now an option so you can change the way the controller forwards DHCP requests so that it is sent as a broadcast and not from a relay agent.

  • WLC 5508, vlan select, reserved address in external DHCP server

    Hi guys,
    I have a deploy with a WLC 5508 version 7.0.116.0, APs mode local and vlan select feature enable. The issue is that the reserved IP address in external DHCP server not work. The DHCP contains a reserved IP address associates with mac address, but the assignement of IP is not match with de policies in DHCP. All others services operate normally.
    This reserved assignment operate previusly to modificate the WLAN to vlan select feature. Help me to improve this situation.
    Thanks.-
    Best regards

    Hello Abhishek, thanks for you quick answer....
    the link was a document used for the deploy, but not especifict nothing about the reserved IP address for particular host. In other words, the reserved IP address (through MAC address) in external DHCP server not work when "vlan select" its enable.

  • WLC 7.0.230.0 - Incorrect DHCP addresses being allocated by internal DHCP server

    Background:
    Initially there were 3 SSIDs configured but all of them were assigned a single interface and this interface was configured with the controller management IP address as DHCP server so that the WLC could assign IP addresses to wireless clients, guns and printers etc.
    Issue:
    As part of PCI initiative, we decided to segment the traffic in multiple subnets based on type of wireless clients; so now there are 3 interfaces configured and each SSID is assigned a specific dynamic interface and each interface is configured to use the controller management IP address as DHCP server.
    There are 3 scopes configured for each of the dynamic interfaces/SSIDs and DHCP proxy is enabled but wirelss clients are still being allocated IP addresses from the original DHCP scope that was associated with the dynamic interface originally assigned to all 3 SSIDs.
    What am I missing here?
    I verified the following:
    1. Each SSID is assigned a different dynamic interface (Users, Voice and Handhelds)
    2. Each dynamic interface is configured to use controllers management IP address as DHCP server
    3. DHCP scopes configured with correct network information for each dynamic interface and enabled

    As mentioned in my first post, I am using the management interface IP address of the controller as the DHCP server in the configuration of all the dynamic interfaces.
    I have not configured the override DHCP option in the WLAN configuration becuase I have specified the internal DHCP address in the dynamic interface.
    But I did check the AP group configuration and there I found that the SSID is not assigned to the correct dynamic interface even if the WLAN configuration is correct.
    I will change the AP group configuration to correct this. Thanks!

  • WLC 5760 with internal DHCP server, clients no get IP address

    Hi all,
    I have  2  Cisco 5760 WLC (active-standby)  IOS-Xe 03.03.03SE  with  one WLAN.
     sh wlan summary 
    Number of WLANs: 1
    WLAN Profile Name                     SSID                           VLAN Status 
    1    Invitados_ADSL                   Guest                          905  UP
    sh vlan         
    VLAN Name                             Status    Ports
    1    default                          active    Te1/0/3, Te1/0/4, Te1/0/5, Te1/0/6, Te2/0/3
                                                    Te2/0/4, Te2/0/5, Te2/0/6
    100  VLAN0100                         active    Te1/0/1, Te2/0/1

    905  Internet                         active    Te1/0/2, Te2/0/2
    The DHCP server is internal.
    Sometimes the clients no get IP address and the DHCP pool has IP addresses available.
    The workaround done by me to solve the issue is “clear  ip dhcp  binding *”.
    Some days later the problem appears again.
    I see this bug with a similar problem:
    NGWC blocks DHCP traffic if wireless broadcast disabled
    CSCun88928
    Description
    Symptom:
    Some clients set the BROADCAST flag on the DHCP Discover packet. This requires the DHCP server to reply with a broadcast.
    In that case and if you are not using DHCP snooping on the 5760/3850, then the controller will block the return traffic unless you enable "wireless broadcast" which enables broadcast globally (and is thus not always desirable)
    Conditions:
    Seen on 3.3.2 IOS-XE
    Workaround:
    Use DHCP snooping with the "ip dhcp snooping wireless bootp-broadcast command"
    OR
    Enable "wireless broadcast" globally
    My DHCP configuration is:
    ip dhcp relay information trust-all
    ip dhcp snooping vlan 905
    ip dhcp snooping
    ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.19
    ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.1.250 172.16.1.254
    ip dhcp pool Invitados
     network 172.16.0.0 255.255.254.0
     default-router 172.16.0.1 
     dns-server 212.66.160.2 212.49.128.65 
     lease 0 8
    I see in Cisco documentation (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/technology/5760_deploy/CT5760_Centralized_Configuration_eg.html) this configuration:
    DHCP Snooping and Trust Configuration on CT5760
    ip dhcp snooping vlan 100, 200
    ip dhcp snooping wireless bootp-broadcast enable
    ip dhcp snooping
    interface TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1
    description Connection to Core Switch
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 100, 200
    switchport mode trunk
    ip dhcp relay information trusted ip dhcp snooping trust
    interface Vlan100
    description Client Vlan
    ip dhcp relay information trusted
    My question is,Do I have to add the command "ip dhcp snooping wireless bootp-broadcast enable" to solve the issue?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards.
    D

    Yes, test it with the command you mentioned
    ip dhcp snooping wireless bootp-broadcast enable

  • 5508 WLC + 3702I APs /w a Windows 2012 DHCP Server

    All,
      I am in the process of a new WLC install with five 3702I APs.  The configuration was gone well up till now.....  I am having issues with DHCP pulling IPs from the correct scope. The WLC is in a different VLAN (10) than the APs (142).  What am I missing in the configuration?  We have multiple autonomous 1252s that pull the correct scope.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
      Dave

    Are you  having issues with client getting IP when they connect to 3702 ? or AP itself not taking IP ?
    Either case I would check switch SVI is configured with "ip helper-address x.x.x.x" pointing to your DHCP server.
    Also for dynamic interface configuration of WLC I would check all interfaces correctly configured with DHCP server address.
    You can run " debug client <mac_address>" on WLC CLI for a single client & post that output if you still facing the issue

  • DHCP Server for AIR-LAP521

    Hi,
    i have a test setup with a WLC-526, a few AIR-LAP521 and a 2621 with an ios 12.2.31 . I' not abel to associate the 521 to the WLC. I have configured an DHCP server on the Router with option 43 ascii "ap-managent-address" of the WLC. The DHCP server packet debug looks like :
    DHCPD: DHCPDISCOVER from
    DHCPD: Sending DHCPOFFER to
    DHCPD: broadcasting BOOTREPLY to
    DHCPD: DHCPDREQUEST received
    DHCPD: Sending DHCPACK to
    DHCPD: broadcasting BOOTREPLY to
    and about 20 sec later :
    DHCPD: DHCDPRELEASE message received
    Has someone an idea how to configure a dhcp server for a 521 correctly. ?
    Thankx
    J?rg

    Hi Carl
    It's the real address. And if you are using secondary IP's it's still the primary real address.
