Printer + PIX DHCPD

Oct 27, 2005 6 Replies

After recently dropping a PIX in place of an old linksys router the laster printer on the network can no longer get an IP address however every other PC on the network can. Any ideas?



Also, the PCs have lease times MUCH longer than the printers NIC ...

192.168.1.109 0100.0ea6.ae5f.3f 74455 seconds Automatic 192.168.1.110 0100.0c6e.1f7d.cc 54254 seconds Automatic 192.168.1.112 0100.055d.d1ed.e9 75037 seconds Automatic 192.168.1.130 0100.0e9b.24a0.5d 79367 seconds Automatic 192.168.1.133 0001.e6b4.43ec 176 seconds Automatic

Q1 What version of PIX software ?

Q2. The default lease time should be 3600 seconds. Try configuring the lease time "dhcpd lease 3601"

Q3. Capture the DHCP packet exchange between printer and PIX using Ethereal or equivalent to see if pIX is respond to DHCP request from printer

A1. PIX Version 6.3(4)

A2. It's currently set to 86400 - I will try 3601

A3. Can I do that right from the PIX somehow?

try capturing and posting:

debug dhcpd packet

debug dhcpd event

depends on how you configure logging

to see output on telnet session, configure: logging monitor debugging

to save debug messages in internal logging buffer, configure: logging buffered debugging

then show logging buffer
