  • 1.  DHCP server on QFX5100, can't make it work

    Posted 06-20-2021 06:53
    Hi community,

    What am I missing?

    Goal: provide connectivity to 2 x APC PDUs in rack.
    Ports are up, but DHCP bindings table is empty.

    Appreciate any input!

    Relevant configuration:

    version 17.4R2.4;
    system {
        services {
            dhcp-local-server {
                group DHCPUSERS {
                    interface irb.301;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    interfaces {
        ge-0/0/41 {
            description PDU1;
            unit 0 {
                family ethernet-switching {
                    vlan {
                        members DHCPSERVER;
                    }
                    filter {
                        input pdu_firewall;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        ge-0/0/42 {
            description PDU2;
            unit 0 {
                family ethernet-switching {
                    vlan {
                        members DHCPSERVER;
                    }
                    filter {
                        input pdu_firewall;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        irb {
            unit 301 {
                family inet {
                    address 10.0.242.241/29;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    access {
        address-assignment {
            pool DHCPPOOL {
                family inet {
                    network 10.0.242.240/29;
                    range RANGE1 {
                        low 10.0.242.245;
                        high 10.0.242.246;
                    }
                    dhcp-attributes {
                        name-server {
                            1.1.1.1;
                        }
                        router {
                            10.0.242.241;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    vlans {
        DHCPSERVER {
            vlan-id 301;
            l3-interface irb.301;
        }
    }

    Can you post the filter? Does it work without the filter? What does show dhcp server statistics show?

    Agree your basic configuration matches what is required.
    https://www.juniper.net/documentation/us/en/software/junos/dhcp/topics/topic-map/dhcp-server-configuration.html#id-configuring-a-switch-as-a-dhcp-server

    But what is in this filter?  And can you deactivate it for testing?
    pdu_firewall​

    Appreciate the input!
    There is no change in behavior when I disable pdu_firewall.

    I managed to figure out the issue but still need help.

    The issue was caused by the fact that 10.0.242.240/29 is a more-specific part of a larger subnet 10.0.242.240/24 used in a different irb on the same switch. 
    The moment I replaced it with a fresh/unused subnet (192.168.x.x) everything works as expected.

    Is there a way to use the above /29 (a part of larger /24 block used in a separate irb)  without having to split the /24 into pieces? (/25 + /26 + /27 + /28 etc)
    I suspect that the answer to that is "no" :D ?

    Best Answer

    Yes, you can create a new routing instance for the /29 irb and its DHCP server, and then import that route into the default routing table.
