DHCP no allocation possible with multiple DHCP leases on ATM

Jul 16, 2009 0 Replies

Hi,



I have a weired problem that is getting me frustrated.



I have a 2811 with 2 ADSL HWICs, each connected to an ADSL line from the same ISP. These connections were working independenltly on different Cisco 877s with no problems



Now I'm trying to merge both this lines into a single 2811 but I can only get on the connections to work at a time. Eventually after a very loong time both interfaces get an address.



My line of thought was, the router must be sending the same client ID to the ISP through both lines, as both lines are identical and to the same ISP, maybe the DHCP server gets confused by getting two different requests from the same client ID with different MACs, so i add the 'ip dhcp client client-id ' and 'ip dhcp client hostname' options to each interface, but with no success.



Any clues on how can I circumvent this annoying issue?



gw-cbr-1#sh version Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-ADVSECURITYK9-M), Version



12.4(15)T7, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc3)

Cisco 2811 (revision 53.50) with 247808K/14336K bytes of memory. Processor board ID FCZ131870N7



2 FastEthernet interfaces
2 ATM interfaces
1 Virtual Private Network (VPN) Module DRAM configuration is 64 bits wide with parity enabled.
239K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
62720K bytes of ATA CompactFlash (Read/Write)


and this my relevant setup:


interface ATM0/0/0 no ip address no ip redirects no ip unreachables no ip proxy-arp ip route-cache flow no ip mroute-cache no atm ilmi-keepalive dsl operating-mode adsl2+ ! interface ATM0/0/0.1 point-to-point description ADSL ID: 1 bridge-group 1 pvc 0/35 encapsulation aal5snap ! ! interface ATM0/1/0 no ip address no ip redirects no ip unreachables no ip proxy-arp ip route-cache flow no ip mroute-cache no atm ilmi-keepalive dsl operating-mode adsl2+ ! interface ATM0/1/0.1 point-to-point description ADSL ID: 2 bridge-group 2 pvc 0/35 encapsulation aal5snap !

bridge 1 protocol ieee bridge 1 route ip



bridge 2 protocol ieee bridge 2 route ip [...] ! interface BVI1 ip dhcp client client-id ascii ADSLID18479442 ip dhcp client hostname GW1 ip address dhcp ip nbar protocol-discovery ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly ip route-cache flow ! interface BVI2 ip dhcp client client-id ascii ADSLID128904105 ip dhcp client hostname GW2 ip address dhcp ip nbar protocol-discovery ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly ip route-cache flow


There are no ACLs or policies now, I started from scratch and I just want to solve the connectivity problem first.


kind regards
