Hello,
We have a Mitel 3300ICP, below is our switch config. We are currently having jitter, delay, and echos. Although we know what needs to be config to correct the above faults but the problem is that when we make the change we are not able to access the via the browse to manage the 3300ICP. We were told by the Mitel team that we need to enable dhcp-relay on the our switch. It is but I am not sure how to begin configuring for the relay to work correctly. Any assistance will be great.

Thanks

Hello,

login to the CLI and change to the config mode.

Then:

ProCurve Switch(config)# dhcp-relay

Switch to the VLAN where do you want to use DHCP.

ProCurve Switch(config)# vlan 1
ProCurve Switch(vlan-1)# ip helper-address <IP address="" of="" you="" dhcp="">

The VLAN 1 needs a valid ip interface configured.

Then write config to mem and everything's fine.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Patrick

Hello Patrick,
We tried your suggestion but it didn't work, i am thinking it's i that have made the wrong configuration. so for testing purpose we create a new vlan, id 10, we then TAGGED A9,A10 but now address from the dhcp server that is on vlan 1 was given. I set the ip-helper address on Vlan 10 to the address of the dhcp is on Vlan 1.
Any other suggestion?

Hello,

can you provide the output of "show dhcp-relay"?

Hello,

you need a valid ip-address in the VLAN from which are the dhcp requests will be redirected. This is needed by the giaddr filed in the header. The DHCP server will be able to detect from which scope it should take an ip for the incoming request. An ip-helper entry without a ip-interface will not work.

Best regards,
Patrick

okay, how do we set the ip for the interface and is this done on vlan 10 instead of vlan 1 where the dhcp is on?

enable dhcp-relay to allow web-based management ????
sounds very strange to me.

At this time does the mittel gets an adress in vlan1 or vlan30?
you need to change the dhcp-scope so the vlan-id is added to the options send to the dhcp-client?

the 5406 knows a "interface vlan VLAN-ID voice" command.
this designates the vlan as being used for ip-phones and set extra characteristics.

Hi,

you need to set the ip on VLAN 10. It must be from the scope which should be used in VLAN 10 and for which the DHCP should serve ip-addresses. You can set the ip by

ProCurve Switch(config)# vlan 10
ProCurve Switch(vlan-1)# ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy

xxx = ip-address
yyy = subnetmask

Best regards,
Patrick

vlan 10
name "Test"
ip helper-address 192.168.3.252
tagged A9-A10
no ip address
exit

in adtion to patricks posts.
- for dhcp-relay to work, routing must be corectly configured.
so
- both vlan's need their own ip-adress/subnet.
vlan 1
name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
ip address 192.168.3.240 255.255.255.0
exit
vlan 10
name "TEST"
ip address 172.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
exit
- routing needs to be enabled
ip routing
- hosts in vlan-1 must have their default-gateway set to 192.168.3.240 (either manually or by dhcp-scope)
- create a second scope on the dhcp-server
for subnet 172.168.10.0/24
with scope-option "default gateway" set to the switch 172.168.10.254
- enable dhcp-relay on the testnetwork
vlan 10
ip helper-address 192.168.3.252
exit
- i would start testing with a normal workstation in your testvlan first
vlan 10
untagged B1
exit
- connect a pc to B1 and test dhcp operation.
the pc should get a 172.168.10.0 adress

if this works then it's time to advance to a port for the ip-phone (in multiple vlan's tagged-10 + untagged-1)

Hello Guys, can you please check if the our configuration is correct? We created another scope on the dhcp server "172.168.10.0" with "default router" of 172.168.10.254.

We were still not able to get an address from the dhcp (172.168.10.0). I am sure its due to me beening a new be to this.

Hi,
your config looks fine.
first i would try if a client in Vlan 10 with static ip and gateway 172.168.10.254 can ping the switch and then the dhcp server.
if this works check the dhcp server. if not,
try to ping the switch from the dhcp server. check if your dhcp-server knows his way to vlan 10. What's the default gateway of the dhcp-server?
you can enable "dhcp-snooping" on the switch and "debug dhcp-snooping" with "debug destination session". then you can see if there are any dhcp-requests and replays.

i am able to ping 172.168.10.254, dfgw on the dhcp is set to the above address
