Hi, my network has a windows dhcp server but some clients connect to the network via wireless and a Cisco 857w router. I have not turned the DHCP server on on the Cisco. The problem I am having is that the wireless users can see the cisco wireless but not get an IP. Do I need to do anything in the cisco config to allow the DHCP traffic to pass internally between those wireless clients and my windows dhcp server?
cheers for any assistance
DHCP requests are send to broadcast address 255.255.255.255. These broadcast packets need to be redirected to the DHCP server.
Try configuring an ip helper-address command on the BVI interface pointing to the DHCP server
config t int BVI 1 ip helper-address < insert DHCP server IP adddress here >
end
