Hello, I can't directly help with the network configuration of your project, but as far as I know, the PC6224 is not used as a DHCP server. But I will advise you to take a look at DHCP Relay pg461 from the User Guide.https://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_networking/esuprt_net_fxd_prt_swtchs/powerconnect-6224_user%27s%20guide_en-us.pdf 

Also, Virtual LANs pg29 and VLAN Routing pg74 in the Configuration Guide https://dell.to/3419Oou

Hope that helps!

Hi Dell-ErmanO,

Thanks for the response. So with the DHCP Relay, I want to have three seperate VLANS with Vlan-10 being the  (IT), Vlan-20, (Accounting), and Vlan-50 (Production). Since I am using DHCP Relay, I would like to setup all the vlans to recieve ip's from each respective Vlan IP segments. For your information, this switch is a stand alone and not in stack.

Thanks,

SY

Hi, this may help:

https://dell.to/3thuW2q

console(config)#ip routing >>> globally enable IPv4 routing

console(config)#interface vlan 10
console(config-if-vlan15)#routing

console(config)#interface vlan 20
console(config-if-vlan15)#routing

console(config)#interface vlan 50
console(config-if-vlan15)#routing

console(config)#interface vlan 10
console(config-vlan)#ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
console(config-vlan)#vlan routing 10
console(config-vlan)#exit

console(config)#interface vlan 20
console(config-vlan)#ip address 192.168.20.254 255.255.255.0
console(config-vlan)#vlan routing 20
console(config-vlan)#exit

console(config)#interface vlan 50
console(config-vlan)#ip address 192.168.50.254 255.255.255.0
console(config-vlan)#vlan routing 50
console(config-vlan)#exit

Sample configuration

Hi DELL-Young E,

Thank you for the configuration sample. I would like to admit that I am just a newbie to this area, and become acquainted with networking and also worked with IT infrastructure for almost 2 years and had picked up little information about how to configured a switch.

I would like to know how to code the DHCP Relay in adjacent to the sample configuration provided. As you guys mentioned that PCT6224 cannot be a DHCP server. My point here is for the switch to issue IP's to each particular Vlans as stated in the config. With this I want each node on the vlans to be able to communicate with each other.

Please help?

Hi, I'm not an expert either but this is about as much as I can help you:

console(config)#ip helper enable

To relay both DHCP and DNS packets to x.x.x.x, use the following commands:

console#config

console(config)#ip helper enable

console(config)#interface vlan x

console(config-if-vlan5)#ip helper-address x.x.x.1 dhcp

console(config-if-vlan5)#ip helper-address x.x.x.x dns

for DHCP relay configuration in the switch

Ip helper enable

Ip helper-address x.x.x.x dhcp

please include this commands as well.

Hi, can you double check on the script you gave me. For some reason my switch doesn't accept it as a valid commands. This is what output after applying the commands.

console(config)#
console(config)#ip helper-address ?

all Enter all to set Ip Helper address parameters for all
IPv4 routing interfaces.
Enter IP Address.

console(config)#ip helper-address

You can see it from the command that it only gives "ip helper-address" but only "all" is a value to enable all the interfaces to be routable.

Please let me know.

Hi, I'm afraid you entered wrong command at wrong place...We have requested to enter IP-helper address to enter into VLan interface. At this point, the best way is if your system is in warranty, you can reach out to call support with an official ticket and tell them what version firmware you're on.

I haven't quite come to a resolution for the question I pose on having my dell powerconnect acting as a dhcp server. I have gone through what have been provided but still struggling with how to enable the IP-helper.

Please advise.

Hi, last time we referred you to the call support. Could you please send me your Service tag via DM?

Hi, we ran your service tag and the warranty expired in 2012. Please refer to https://dell.to/3LHcurF
Page #715 and spend time on it. IP helper enabling is a must.

I've read through the page you suggested and have hard time understanding the scenario discussed. This is especially with the relay of any packets from all ports to its destined gateway......

Please advise....

Thank you.

Hi, first of all, it's best you need to call the phone support for your warranty issue and logs analysis.

How to configure an IP Address on Dell Networking PowerConnect Switches 

If you don't know how to configure dhcp through CLI mode, please do through GUI. Select dhcp options according to your needs which will automatically installed on switch.
Again, please try contacting the phone support so they can open an official ticket.
