portfast is a must man.... When a client comes online the port goes active immediately so any requests go out. (you can see this action on the switch...the light will go straight to green instead of flickering orange)
While the led is flickering orange, you have no connectivity. so if the client makes it's request then, the server will not ever get the packet. -Patrick >>> "Brian Zeitz" 05/23/02 02:18PM >>> Yes, the DHCP server is. Portfast is not enabled on any of the devices or servers. It's a simple LAN setup. Yes everything should be on VLAN1 since I didn't change anything \on the switch. Also, everything is on the same subnet. The scope is set, the workstations DO get them eventually. But I get a lot of errors in their event logs, and they have problems logging in sometimes. Something must not be set right. Thanks for your help. Maybe I need to read up on portfast. -----Original Message----- From: Davis, Scott [ISE/RAC] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 12:02 PM To: Brian Zeitz; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: DHCP problems [7:44825] Is your DHCP server connected to this switch and are the workstations in question and the DHCP server on the same subnet/VLAN. If not you need to use ip helper addresses on the L3 device between them. Are any workstations able to get DHCP addresses from the server? Is the DHCP scope active? -----Original Message----- From: Brian Zeitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: DHCP problems [7:44825] I am having an issue with a 3550-24 Cisco switch and a windows 2000 Network. DHCP is not working correctly, I get sephamore timeouts on a lot of the workstations. I set the port and the servers to 100M Full. Is there anything else I should be looking for? Could there be something preventing DCHP from working right, maybe it is not allowing a broadcast. Maybe it is something simple, I guess this is a newbie question :-) thanks for your help in advance. >>>>>>>>>>>>> Confidentiality Disclaimer <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< This email and any files transmitted with it may contain confidential and /or proprietary information in the possession of WellStar Health System, Inc.
