Re: Ip helper address

2000-09-08 Thread Dale Holmes


You have 2 DHCP servers on the same subnet??? This is probably not a good 
idea... it does not really provide redundancy or load balancing.
The DHCP client will issue a request and accept the first response that it 
gets.

If you split your scope such that half of your available addresses are on 
one server and half are on the other, you will *NOT* see that half of your 
clients use one server while half use the other. If for some reason one 
server always replies a nanosecond earlier than the other, then all clients 
will accept the response from that server. Once that server is out of 
addresses, it will start sending nack's. The clients will start accepting 
those nack's and will not request an address again, even though the other 
DHCP server may have dozens of free addresses to offer.

SO - in answer to your question, the ip helper address of 10.10.10.0 will 
allow your client's requests to reach all DHCP servers on that subnet, 
HOWEVER they will only accept leases from the first server from which they 
receive a response. Chances are that server will be the same one all the 
time, even after it runs out of addresses to offer...

You *could* set up your DHCP servers such that the scope on EACH ONE is 
sufficient to offer leases to ALL of you clients, but that is probably a 
less than efficient use of your address space.

I hope that this helps...

what about putting 
ip helper-address 10.10.10.255 ? instead of a zero.. what effect does that
have?
isnt the 255 used to send the broadcasts to all the servers on that subnet?

Re: Ip helper address

2000-09-11 Thread Donald B Johnson Jr

I don't understand this, wouldn't the client accept the second offer by
sending the seconds servers siaddr in the request packet. also DHCP standard
says that nowhere must a client accept the first offer and then stop
broadcasting. All servers will answer the clients DHCPDISCOVER broadcast
with any help it can or can not offer. The first server does not tell the
second server to shutup so as soon as the (second or 1nanosecond slower
server) receives the broadcast it will it will send a DHCPOFFER packet and
the client will reply with an DHCPREQUEST packet to the second server
(using the siaddr field) that will be ack'd by the second server with an
DHCPACK packet. This is all made quite clear in RFC 1541. So you can have
two DHCP servers on the same segment you just don't know which one will
serve the address to the client but both will try independent of each other
and the client will ot stop trying after receiving after a nack from a
server.

Re: Ip helper address

2000-09-11 Thread Dale Holmes

Perhaps I should be more clear about this and say that this is the behaviour 
of MICROSOFT DHCP clients. Here is the info from the Windows NT Resource 
kit:

"Note:   The client accepts the first offer it receives, regardless of 
whether the offer came from a DHCP server on the local subnet or from a DHCP 
server on a different subnet. ... In the case where the DHCP server is 
unavailable or there is no available IP addressing information to lease to a 
client computer, the client is unable to bind to TCP/IP."

An MS DHCP client may receive many DHCPOFFER's for its DHCPDISCOVER 
broadcast. It will accept the first offer it receives (actually, the first 
response it gets), and NACK all others. If the first response it gets is 
negative, it will settle for that, and NACK anything from the other servers. 
I have seen this (and sniffer traced it) in production. MS was unwilling to 
call it a bug, and said the behaviour was by design and was RFC compliant. 
Case was closed...

This was NT 4.0 Service pack 4 with Win98 clients. I dunno if they have 
changed things since, but I doubt it.

Re: Ip helper address

2000-09-11 Thread Ejay Hire

It is possible two have two DHCP servers in one subnet.  The client will 
accept the first IP address it recieves.  This is done to remove the Single 
point-of-failure in the one DHCP server.  Some DHCP server software will 
allow two or more servers to share a synchronized copy of the address pool 
database, to simplify administration.

Getting to the question...

According to the Cisco Press ACRC book, if you have multiple ip 
helper-address ('S) defined, any UDP broadcasts recieved on the allowed udp 
ports will be unicasted to each of the IP helpers.

It's not just DHCP either, it's:
DHCP, DNS, TFTP, TIME, NETBIOS NAME SERVICE, NETBIOS DATAGRAM SERVICE, AND 
TACACS.

Doesn't a MS client go for a new server after 87.5% of the lease if It can't
contact it's original server.
I got a resource kit collecting dust somewhere what page is that on I'd like
to look that up microsoft always seems to amaze me with there bugs.
Maybe you should e-mail them the RFC.
If you got a print out for the sniff I'd like to take a look at that too.

An Ip helper address allows you to propagate (repeat) certain types of
broadcasts across the wan to one or more remote machines.  Two example of
things that are useful with helper addresses are DHCP, Win9x NETBios

no...the two are nothing alike

a default gateway is just thatyour next hop out.

and ip helper can be any address on any subnet that would generally answer a
broadcast from a host on a local segment.  But since routers stop broadcasts
by default, you must specify this address as a "helper" .

The router then takes would would normally be a broadcast and forwards it to
this "helper" address as a unicast.  (most commonly used in this scenario is
bootp/dhcp)

Re: IP Helper Address [7:13539]

2001-07-24 Thread fgh

ip helper address can be used to find a dhcp server on a different segment
than what you are. Your computer will broadcast a dhcp request (layer 3
which will not get through a router) for a dhcp server on a different
segment. ip helper address will allow your machine access to the dhcp server
through the router. however, be aware that ip helper address does open up
other ports.

RE: ip helper address [7:45042]

2002-05-25 Thread Andy Hoang

Yes you can.  Just type in the command multiple times in the interface
config mode.  If servers are on the same network, then you can use the
network address instead of the host addr.

For example:

servers are 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2/24

then:

r1(config-if)#ip helper-addres 1.1.1.1
r1(config-if)#ip helper-addres 1.1.1.2

or

r1(config-if)#ip helper-addres 1.1.1.0

Can you put more than one ip helper address on an ethernet interface? If so,
what is the syntax to do so?

RE: IP Helper-address questions [7:247]

2001-04-11 Thread Greene, Patrick

I assume when you say PDC, you are referring to an NT server PDC. I must
also assume you have TCP/IP installed on all NT servers needing to
communicate to each other.  If so, then the ip-helper command is of no use.
It merely forwards bootp and DHCP requests.  If you need a PDC and a BDC to
communicate then just make sure both servers are reporting to a common WINS
server.  From the WINS server the PDC and BDC will know what IP addresses
they nees to use to communicate.  As long as the servers can ping each other
and WINS is configured properly then you are cooking.

Patrick

Re: IP Helper-address questions [7:247]

2001-04-11 Thread Muhammed Khalilullah

Actually, the IP helper command is placed on the
interface that is recieving the broadcasts. Now you
have to decide which router is supposed to recieve the
broadcasts. But in usual case, Clients usually try to
communcate with the PDC for authentication and other
stuffs. So, i think it would work to configure ip
helper-address w.x.y.z on the ethernet interface of
router 1 only (where w.x.y.z is the ip address of your
PDC, but if you have multiple PDCs then you have to
give the directed-broadcast address and also have to
use ip directed-broadcast command).

I hope this will work

I happen to be a ccnp and mcse.  I get how ip helper-address works.  Also
work with microsoft dhcp servers.

How do you setup a scope for a remote subnet, and how does the dhcp server
know how to hand out the correct ip leases for a non-connected subnet?

Does the dhcp server look at the source address of the interface of the
forwarded helper-address packets?  Then match up the correct scope with the
router interface ip address?

Yup, you got it.  Just set up the extra scope(s) for the subnet(s) you have
the ip helper-address enabled port(s) on.  The DHCP server sees the source
address (or perhaps network address/mask, I'm not sure the down and dirty
details), and sends an appropriate DHCP address from the scope that fits
that subnet.

The source MAC address is the router's address (assuming the packet only 
went one hop), but the source IP address is 0.0.0.0, so that doesn't help.

What does help is that the DHCP packet has a GIAddr (Gateway IP Address) 
field. The router that forwards the packet puts its own address in that 
field. The router puts the address for the interface that the DHCP Discover 
packet came in on. The remote DHCP server can figure out which scope it's 
dealing with from that info. The GIAddr should be from the same subnet as 
the requesting host.

Yes, The DHCP server will check the IP address of the
interface on which you have configured the IP Helper
address command. So make pools on the DHCP server
accordingly. eg: Router's interface 192.168.1.1/16
Server' pool 192.168.0.1-192.168.255.254 wil work.

Re: IP Helper-address questions [7:247]

2001-04-16 Thread Jason J. Roysdon

Actually, you'll want to make the pools only as big as the subnet, unless
you know some trick I don't Muhammed.  Each pool will need a default gateway
assigned as part of the scope, and unless you're doing a /16 range for
192.168/16, then you'll want a pool for each 192.168/24 network.

Don't forget to take advantage of the global attributes.  Set your DNS,
WINS, and whatever settings are the same for each pool as a global setting,
and only those settings that need to be unique for each pool (Gateway is all
I can think of).  This way you don't have to specify these same settings for
each pool.  A pool-specific attribute will also override the Global
attribute for that pool, so even if you had a local WINS and/or DNS server
that you want one network to use, still set the Global for whatever is the
main configuration.  Don't forget if you use WINS to set the node type to
0x8 (hybrid).

I had a similar situation in the past where the DHCP servers were on *nix
boxes and they got flooded with the NetBT stuff (from 3000+ workstations)
needlessly.  In this type of a situation "no ip forward protocol" is your
friend.

To just foward the DHCP requests you need to do the following:

no ip forward-protocol udp tftp
no ip forward-protocol udp nameserver
no ip forward-protocol udp domain
no ip forward-protocol udp time
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-ns
no ip forward-protocol udp netbios-dgm
no ip forward-protocol udp tacacs

It would be nice if you could disable all and then specifically add the ones
you want (i.e. the passive-interface default / no passive-interface method)
but - at least on the versions I've tried - she's a no go.  You can disable
all udp flooding with the command:

no ip forward-protocol udp 

But as soon as you enable a specific service this command gets
'un-done'...perhaps a it can be a feature request for the programmers @
Cisco watching this list (do any?).

Hope this helps.

Thank-you very much for your research and testing, Ben.

The person who started this discussion (offline) also wrote back and
confirmed that the subnet broadcasts are indeed forwarded to the address in
his IP helper address command. I agree that it makes sense from the point
of view that the subnet broadcast (10.10.255.255) is no different from an
ordinary broadcast (255.255.255.255) at the MAC layer. They both go to
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

There are concerns about this behavior however. In his case the DHCP server
is the helper address. It is receiving all sorts of junk that it shouldn't
receive, including WINS and BROWSE stuff. The IP Helper Address
configuration is causing these packets to be sent as unicast packets to the
DHCP server. It's probably just a minor performance issue, but worth fixing.

I don't know enough about his network to recommend this definitely, but he
may be able to configure "no ip forward-protocol 137" and "no ip
forward-protocol 138" to ensure that the WINS and BROWSE stuff is not
forwarded. I believe he has an actual WINS server also that can handle the
WINS service and the nodes are configured as H-Nodes so they are unicasting
to the WINS server in addition to sending their broadcasts.

I thought this was interesting! I wonder how many people have thought about
how much junk by default gets forwarded with IP helper address. And
offline, some experts asked me why would a router forward a subnet
broadcast, so they all agreed that this was not completely expected
behavior.

Thanks again,

Priscilla

Many of the big corporations have been aware of it for some time.
When I had to set up DHCP at a certain Silicon Valley giant corporation in
1996, I came
across their white paper on setting up DHCP relay via Cisco's ip
helper-address, with
specific instructions to do a "no ip forward" on UDP 137 and 138.

RE: IP helper address and subnet broadcast [7:25485]

2001-11-09 Thread R. Benjamin Kessler

Depends on what you're trying to do...the utility I used here is just
"nmap" - see www.insecure.org (note: this is a bit of a "hacking" tool, so
use with caution).

This is basically a port scanning tool, you can specify a remote subnet to
scan but you give it the range of addresses to probe, I don't see why you
couldn't probe a remote host that just happened to have the same address as
the subnet broadcast somewhere.

I guess by definition, if you've got a default gateway configured and are
sending traffic to a remote subnet you'll have the local router's MAC
address as the destination.

If you're looking to do something a bit more elaborate you can try to use a
Sniffer to manufacture a string of packets but it is probably more trouble
than it's worth.  I'm sure that there are plenty of hacker tools that will
do this but you'll probably need to go lurking on some different lists to
find them...

Interesting... By any chance do you have a packet manipulator available?
For added fun you could put together a frame with a destination IP of
the subnet's broadcast addy, and a destination MAC of the routers MAC
address...

RE: IP helper address and subnet broadcast [7:25485]

2001-11-09 Thread Logan, Harold

The few times I've needed a packet manipulator, SnifferPro has worked
fine for me. The idea I was shooting for (please keep in mind that
yesterday I was working on 3 hours of sleep and no caffeine) was to put
together a layer 3 broadcast with a layer 2 unicast address,
specifically the destination MAC of the router's ethernet interface.
That, combined with some packet debugging or accounting on the far
router, could tell you if the router forwards traffic to the ip helper
address because the layer 2 destination addy is all F's, or if it
forwards to the ip helper addres because the layer 3 destination address
is the subnet's broadcast addy. 

I suppose if I'm that curious I should get off my arse and set up such a
scenario here, but I let someone else label the cables in my pod, and
I'm still working on fixing it... right now the classroom where we keep
the routers has v.35 and cat5 cables strewn all over the place. Argh.

Re: IP helper-address, domain browsing &amp; N [7:36089]

2002-02-22 Thread Alex Lee

I am going to venture a guess :-

According to MS NT's static ports assignment, TCP: 42 is for WINS
replication, perhaps by changing this statetment from
ip nat inside source static 10.0.3.40 xxx.xxx.xxx.156 extendable
  to
ip nat inside source static 10.0.3.40 42 xxx.xxx.xxx.156 42 extendable
may solve the problem.

However, according to MS two other ports are also used in WINS functions:
TCP:135 for WINS Manager and TCP:137 for WINS Registration.

Interest to know if this helps.

Re: Ip helper address: which is the mac address? [7:44608]

2002-05-21 Thread Chris Charlebois

The DHCP server doesn't read the actually MAC address of the client PC.  The
DHCP client builds a DHCP request packet that includes the client's MAC
address.  The DHCP relay just passes that packet to the DHCP server, along
with additional information (such as what subnet the request is coming from).

Re: IP helper address with multiple vlans and 1 DHCP [7:351]

2001-04-12 Thread Luke

Ruddy,

   If I understand the question (not necessarily a true statement):
When the DHCP client (PC host) comes up it will send a broadcast for
DHCP service, the vlan router will see the request packet and forward the
request to the DHCP server using the IP helper address setup in the
interface config.  When the request is sent it indicates to the DHCP server
which network this request is coming from and the DHCP will search the
available scopes and select the scope that is for the requesting network.
The server offer will be returned to the router which in turn sends it to
the original requestor at which time the conversation becomes a unicast
between the DHCP client and server.

On the other hand if you are trying to reserver a specific IP within a
scope for a specific PC host it must be setup on the DHCP server with the
clients macaddr as a M-DHCP (manual dhcp).  The conversation occurs as
before except on a specific IP will be returned that satifies the
macaddr -to- IP reservation setup on the DHCP server.

Repost with clarifications if this has not help resolve the issue.
