Switching

Hi,

I am using EX 4300 running 18.1R3-S6.1. I configured DHCP Client on IRB Interface (vlan 1000). I have a DHCP Server connected in that VLAN. I do not see any DHCP activity on the EX 4300. Its stuck in INIT state forever.

root@Juniper1> show configuration interfaces irb unit 1000
family inet {
dhcp;
}

{master:0}
root@Juniper1>

root@Juniper1> show dhcp client binding
IP address Hardware address Expires State Interface
0.0.0.0 dc:38:e1:51:ac:41 0 INIT irb.0
0.0.0.0 dc:38:e1:51:ac:41 0 INIT irb.1000
172.16.10.132 dc:38:e1:51:ac:42 9535 BOUND vme.0

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Thanks in Advance. 

Can you please first check if your irb is "up up" ? Make sure your irb is associated with your vlan properly.

Then check "monitor traffic interface irb.x no-resolve" to see what packets comes in / goes out on your irb 

Logical interface irb.1000 (Index 559) (SNMP ifIndex 615)
Flags: Hardware-Down Up SNMP-Traps 0x0 Encapsulation: ENET2
Bandwidth: 1Gbps
Routing Instance: None Bridging Domain: None
Input packets : 0
Output packets: 0
Protocol inet, MTU: 1514
Max nh cache: 75000, New hold nh limit: 75000, Curr nh cnt: 0, Curr new hold cnt: 0, NH drop cnt: 0
Flags: Sendbcast-pkt-to-re

I figured out the issue and its working now.

Issue was with the vlan to irb l3-interface CLI.
