Hi everybody,
I bought an Omniswitch 6400 and had done some basic configuration:
ip interface vlan_1_name address 192.168.1.1 vlan 1
aaa authentication default local
changing passwort and name
The switch currently runs AOS 6.4.4.342.R01.
After that, I uploaded dhcpd.conf with the following content:
server-identifier vxTarget;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
dynamic-dhcp range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.255 {
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option dhcp-lease-time 8600;
}
}
Furthermore I have created an empty dhcpd.pcy file and uploaded both to /flash/switch
After that i promted the following commands
dhcp-server enable
dhcp-server restart
The output was: +++ /flash/switch/dhcpd.conf processed with 1 subnets
But by connecting a client to the switch, no ip address is given from the switch. What is wrong?
Thank you for your replies!
DHCP Server configuration
Re: DHCP Server configuration
Hi,
It doesnt seems to be something wrong.
Try write memory and copy working certified, and then reload.
Have you seen something capturing traffic???

Re: DHCP Server configuration
Thank you for your reply! No, the client does not send any packages and get a 169.x.x.x ip address. But I havent done write memory and copy working certified.
I want to use the switch for a LAN party and bought it because it was a smart offer. Is there anything else that needs to be focused on regarding the switch configuration? Port Rules etc?

Re: DHCP Server configuration
I'd update to a more current code (just to be sure)
The ports for you clients are in vlan 1?
normally you should not need any addtitional commands if you need just a plain switch.

Re: DHCP Server configuration
Hi devnull,
what do you mean with a more current code?
I have just done the setup written in my first post. Do I need to assign all the ports to vlan 1 or are they autmatically in vlan 1 with the command "ip interface vlan_1_name address 192.168.1.1 vlan 1"? I just want one vlan with a dhcp server assigning the ip addresses to the clients.
Yes, I just need a plain switch. If I understand you right, I just need to do the following:
dhcp-server enable
dhcp-server restart
write memory
copy working certified
reload
Correct?
Thank you in advance!

Re: DHCP Server configuration
The lateste maintenance Version for 6.4.4 is 6.4.4.707 the version i would install is 6.4.5.635
There have been plenty of dhcp related fixes if i remember correctly hence test the current code first.
If you have nothing configured all ports are in vlan 1 - having an IP interface in vlan 1 has nothing to do with that (but is afaik needed to act as dhcp server)
you have a dhcpd.pcy file as well ?
Have you tested with examples out of the manuals and/or example files from https://service.esd.alcatel-lucent.com/ ... c6ToRdx5gi
edit: i think manual says restart first (to read configs) then enable..

Re: DHCP Server configuration
yes, i tried these files and the included dhcpd.pcy file is not working for me -> parsing error. So I created an empty dhcpd.pcy file on the switch.
I have nothing configured on the switch regarding vlan and ports. I have just done this "ip interface vlan_1_name address 192.168.1.1 vlan 1"
ok, so i will try
dhcp-server restart
dhcp-server enable
