Good evening,
So, I am struggling here a little bit. I am not sure if this post answers the question to my issue. Maybe I am misunderstanding or it just doesn't answer my problem.
Here's what I have.
I have a DHCP server living in a VRF called Bananas which is on vlan 10. The DHCP servers IP address is 192.168.10.116.
set routing-instances Bananas instance-type virtual-router
set routing-instances Bananas interface vlan.10
I have a device in another VRF called Chocolate which is on vlan 20. It needs to get an IP address from the DHCP server in Bananas
set routing-instances Chocolate instance-type virtual-router
set routing-instances Chocolate interface vlan.20
I set up for forwarding options as such...
set forwarding-options helpers bootp interface vlan.20 server 192.168.10.116 routing-instance Bananas
If you hate the set commands, lemme know and I can post my from my 'show'
With this config, I am not getting DHCP. I statcically assign an IP address on my host on VLAN 20 and I am able to ping my gateway, I can ping through my router that routes between my VRFs but.. no go on relay.
Am I missing something? What is the cause of this madness!?
I have had issues like this in the past and have actually had ProServices assist us and it was articulated that there was an issue getting a DHCP relay to work through VRFs where the DHCP was not on the inet0 VRF. They said that we would need to use a RIB group. This will not be a solution for this client. Now this was some time ago and I was hoping that some one out here in internetland would be able to help.
Thank you so much.
Look forward to some replies.
