Hi
It looks like you don't have an IP interface in VRF sns that can support your DHCP server. So, attach a vlan41 interface to VRF sns on the 6300M and set an IP or move the DHCP server to your 8325 device.
Regards,
Thomas

Subject: DHCP config on 6300M
Hello,
I have a central Windows DHCP server that I use for 99.9% of our devices, but I have a couple of temperature tracking boxes that do not like some of the default DHCP options that our Windows server provides. Therefore I would like to set up a local DHCP server on a 6300M switch for use with these devices.
L3 device is an 8325 switch with a separate VLAN without IP helper for this new VLAN I want to set up
interface vlan 41
ip address 10.8.41.254/24
l3-counters
This VLAN is allowed on the uplink to the 6300M switch
L2 device is the 6300M switch
VLAN is allowed on the uplink to the 8325
dhcp-server vrf sns
pool primary-pool
range 10.8.41.1 10.8.41.10 prefix-len 24
default-router 10.8.41.254
dns-server 10.99.1.29 10.254.251.91
lease 12:00:00
exit
authoritative
enable
However, the output is as follows where the config status is always showing as Pending.
FWE-IDF4-232# sh dhcp-server vrf sns
VRF Name : sns
DHCP Server : enabled
Operational State : operational
Authoritative Mode : true
Config_status : Pending
Pool Name : primary-pool
Lease Duration : 12:00:00

Therefore, any idea how I remove the config status as Pending? Central is not used on this device.
