Cisco 891 not getting IP address with DHCP with latest IOS

Hi,
I have a few Cisco 891 routers that are configured as DHCP clients on the WAN interface.
For some reason when I boot the router with a late IOS, the router is not receiving an address.
It works just as expected with the older IOSes.
Any ideas of what changed?
This is how the interface is configured:
interface FastEthernet8
ip address dhcp
no ip redirects
no ip unreachables
no ip proxy-arp
duplex auto
speed auto
no cdp enable
This IOS does not work:
c890-universalk9-mz.154-3.M2.bin
While these do work:
c890-universalk9-mz.150-1.M7.bin
c890-universalk9-mz.151-2.T2.bin
c890-universalk9-mz.152-1.T1.bin
Doing a "show ip interface brief" shows that FastEthernet8 is unassigned with the affected IOS.
With the older IOSes there is an IP address.
I had to downgrade two routers due to this issue, and did not have plenty of time to troubleshoot.
Both of the routers are connected to DSL from the same ISP...
Anyone seen anything like this before?

Add another one to the list.
I have a MacBookPro3,1 that connects to WIFI no problem. It used to connect to ethernet when I originally bought it, however I've been using WIFI exclusively for the past 2 years.
Recently I had a need to connect via ethernet and it wouldn't work at home (apple airport router). I next tried connecting via ethernet at a friends house using a linksys WRT54G, no dice either. I have the computer in the lab today (University Network) and I get the same error. 3 different locations, 3 different routers, all same problem. It used to connect to home and university networks ethernet right away.
IP address assigned is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx - subnet - 255.255.0.0
no other info. It's showing up as connecting to the network, but unable to communicate with DHCP. It does work if I enter all of the information in manually.
At first I thought I had messed something up in networking preferences as I tend to play around with things alot. However I did a complete system format, and fresh install of OSX Lion and I still have the same problem, without any of my meddling around to confuse things.
What gives?

Cisco phone not getting ip address

Hi all ,
Cisco 2950 switch
Phone and dhcp server are in the same default vlan .PC's are getting ip address from dhcp server but not the phone
Thanks

Hi
I can see the mac address has registered on the switch . And i have tried couple of phones , result was same .
Then i did run a packet sniffing using wireshark .
I could see dhcp discover from the phone and offer from the server a couple of times .
i am attaching the dhcp offer part from the wireshark .
And i saw one error also

Cisco 3502I Not getting ip address

I just deployed 2 brand new 3502I access points. Ap's are connected to a PoE module on a 4507. Ap's are powering up. The 4507 is configured to hand out ip addresses to the ap's. When I run 'sh cdp nei det', I can see the ap's but they do not have an ip address assignment. Another weird thing is in the output of the command, each ap has two entries. One entry shows gigabit0 and the other gigabit0.1. I have never seen this before. I dont know if this in some way is why the ap's are not getting an ip address. I have 40 other 3502I from 2 yrs ago and no problem. The IOS of the new ap's is 15.2. Anyone have an idea to what may be happening? TIA

I will use the cisco 3750 PoE for further testing. It is close by my office and the cable run is under 200 ft. I used this same switch and port to configure the other 40 3502i ap's. Below is the output of the show power inline fa1/0/12:

Phones not getting IP address via DHCP server on same VLAN

Hello....we have a new series of Cisco SF-200s and one new Cisco SF-300. All switches are operating in layer 2 mode currently. Let's say for all intents and purposes, all ports are in VLAN1....pretty much default setup. There is a fiber backbone between uplink ports...and it is working correctly it appears.
There is a DHCP server allocating addresses 192.168.0.60 thru 192.168.0.79. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
PCs and laptops successfully receive an IP address and can access things.....such as surfing the internet. Tested that from multiple switches....all seems to work just fine.
However, it seems that some newly purchased phones (Digium models) simply will not acquire an IP address like the PCs and laptops do.
Pretty broad question....but just wondering.
Thanks!

Hi Greg,
Might be interesting to goto the following sections of the GUI disable the discovery protocols;
1. Administration>Discovery -LLDP >properties
2. Administration>Discovery -CDP >Management interface
3 Smartports >Properties > Admministrative Auto Smartports is disabled.
the switches are real smart and may pre-empt what you are trying to achieve.

DHCP via Hyper-V VM, Server2012r2 Hyper-V host, clients not getting IP address

You have to authorize a dhcp server as Britv8 says. That's the only way it'll start dishing out leases. That's standard for Windows DHCP server in an AD Domain.
Also there's 0 reason to mention Hyper-V here. The whole point of virtualization is to do hardware level abstraction.

I recently encountered this. Setup:
Initial setup of the system was at a different location from its final destination, with different network equipment (switches) between the two. No teaming is involved, however.
Set up the system at its final destination, with DHCP via a Hyper-V VM (Server2012r2), Server2012r2 Hyper-V host, physical clients on the lan were not getting IP address.
The physical server box has a 4-port Intel Gigabit ethernet card.
I moved the setup (Hyper-V Virtual Switch manager) so that the interface for the DHCP server VM was isntead using one of two built-in Broadcom adapters.
While this topic seemed promising,
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/251317-hyper-v-vm-not-leasing-ip-s-dhcp
unfortunately, "fiddling about" was not what I was looking for as possible solution.
My notes for the resolution:

Guest users not getting IP address

I am setting up Cisco wireless along with ISE 1.3 for guest wireless. The client is going to use the self-registration portal for guest wireless users. I followed this Cisco doc to configure the self-registration portal:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/identity-services-engine/118742-configure-ise-00.html
I tested this in my home lab and everything works fine. However, at the client users are not getting IP addresses from the DHCP server. This is the same DHCP server that is used for corporate wireless and if you connect that SSID, you get an IP address. I have looked what I configured at home and the client and everything looks the same. In the back of my mind, I feel something is missing, but I can't figure out what it is.
Edit: Not sure if this makes a difference or not, but they are using a Nexus 5K for their core switch and it hosts the SVI for this network.
Let me know what information you need and I will post it.
TIA,
Dan

Hello,
Some verifications below :
Did you verify if DHCP Proxy is enabled in wlc's wlan interface ? Case DHCP proxy is disabled, did you verify if the ip helper address is enabled in Nexus SVI ?
DHCP Scope is enabled in the DHCP Server or is enabled in the WLC ?
Verify if Trunk in the switch is enabled correctly passing all VLANs to WLANs ?
Verify if ACL to redirect configured in the WLC is allowing DHCP Server and DHCP Client to client receive IP Address and ports 8443 to Cisco ISE and DNS to resolve some address and get access to ISE Portal ?
The scenario is Local Switching or Central Switching ?

Guest OS not getting IP adderss from DHCP

We have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper V role installed on IBM x3650 M4 server. We have connected 2 LAN. When we create External Virtual Network & binds one physical adapter in Virtual Network manager, We loose the ping response from Local
network for that physical adaptor. Even if we create new VM (Guest OS) & we are not getting any IP from DHCP to that VM. Kindly help to resolve it.

"Please reply fast we have to set up the server as soon as possible."
This is not a support hot-line. TechNet forums are volunteer driven, meaning that when a person has a few minutes of time, they will look to see if they can help someone.
"We loose the ping response from Local network for that physical adaptor"
That is expected. In fact, when you select a physical NIC in Hyper-V to make it into a virtual switch, you are presented with a warning stating that might happen. What happens when a physical NIC is assigned to a virtual switch is that all the
existing networking protocols that were associated with that NIC are removed and the Microsoft Virtual Switch protocol is bound to the NIC. That is the only protocol than can be on that NIC if you wish to use it as a virtual switch. If you want
the Host to continue using that NIC you need to select the option to share the connection with the host.
"Even if we create new VM (Guest OS) & we are not getting any IP from DHCP to that VM."
Are you using VLANs? What is the network environment? Subnets, etc.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.4. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

Mac OSX NOT GETTING IP ADDRESS BECAUSE OF THE DHCP(FINAL FIX)

You may get some errors when trying to connect to the wireless connection.
LIST OF PROBLEMS:
-Auto-Assigned IP with 255.255.0.0 Subnet Mask and a 169.x.x.x IPV4 Address
-Unable to renew the DHCP beacuse the DHCP doesn't send the IPV4 address to your iMac/MacBook
-No IP
FINAL FIX:
-Log to the Router Configuration page inserting the default gateway address in your browser bar(It should be 192.168.1.1 though my default gateway is 192.168.0.1.....nevermind).
-Go to DHCP tab and make sure that DHCP is ENABLED
-Go to Wireless Settings and set Channel to "1" and the Wireless mode to 802.11 bg(In some routers it's 802.11 bg mixed)instead of 802.11 bgn or 802.11 n.(IN SOME ROUTERS THERE'S ONLY .11 and not 802.11....that's the same s**t though!)
-Reboot your router
-Shut down your machine and unplug the power cables
-When done press once the power button
-Re-Plug the power cables and turn on your MacBook/iMac
-Go to Network Settings,Advanced settings,TCP/IP and set IPV4 address to DHCP
SOFTWARE FIX(FIREWALL CONFLICT):
-Disable ANY non-Apple firewall or network management application such as mDNS responder,etc..

Great work, nice info, thanks!

DHCP: Some clients not getting IP address

Recently setup a new DHCP server on Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 running on an Xserve. We migrated from a Linux server.
The Xserve was originally just a file server. So the only services currently running are: AFP, DHCP, NFS, and SMB. No additional software is running.
The DHCP server ran just fine for the first couple weeks. But then we found some computers just stopped getting IP addresses from the DHCP server. Some were new computers introduced to the network. Some were laptops that had left and come back. However, the DHCP server is definitely still giving out IP addresses and renewing them for most new and existing computers. There have been five computers that have not gotten IP addresses so far, and that had been the case both on the wireless and on a wired connection. Two were PC's, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows XP with Lenovo's ThinkVantage software. The other three were different models of MacBook Pros.
For those five computers, we managed to get them working in two ways. One, we can select to use DHCP with a manual address. When we do that, it manages to pick up all the other information from the DHCP server like DNS and gateway. The second thing we can do is configure the DHCP server to supply a static IP address by providing it with the MAC address of these machines. When we do that, the computers receive the IP address from the DHCP server.
So I guess you could say the problem I'm experiencing is for a few computers the DHCP server seems to only be able to provide static addresses, but not dynamic ones with a lease time.
I have logging set to the highest for the DHCP server. Below is the first thing I noticed that keeps showing up. Sometimes it shows a different MAC address than the one below. None of the afflicted computers have that MAC address, though. I have not seen any other errors in the logs for the DHCP server.
