Good afternoon all,
I have *2.1-RELEASE * (amd64) running on esxi 5.0 with a Cisco
managed L2 switch (SG200-26) in between esxi and the charter cable modem. I
see my dhcp discovers go out (broadcast) I never see any dhcp traffic come
back. Charter's been out a few times, they did determine that they see my
discover and they respond though I don't see the reply. With a dedicated
interface they can get an address off the modem. ASCII art below;
charter cable modem--g24 cisco vlan 5---esxi vlan5--pf em0.
I've tried this dedicating a vnic to a standalone vswitch with no 802.1q
and I've tried 802.1q on the esxi side. The cable modem port is always an
access port in vlan 5. STP has been disabled on the charter modem port.
Every port has portfast enabled and the mac timers have been cranked down
to the minimum, 10 seconds I believe. I've captured traffic from vlan 5 and
g24 (cable modem port) and seen the same thing, dhcp discovers go out,
nothing comes back. I'm thinking there has to be a handful of folks on this
list who have dealt with this and succeeded. Any advice would be fabulous,
I'd like to keep my L3 in software if I can. Thanks so much.
-W
