MS130-48P: Configured with Static IP but now uses DHCP IP

[mcoomber]

I've got a troublesome switch that recent rebooted itself. After the reboot, the static IP that it is configured to use it not what is presently active. Instead its a DHCP issued IP. I've done several reboots and whenever its powered on it gets a new DHCP issued IP.

1. What might be the cause
2. How do I get the static issued IP address to work. 

This is the same switch that I recently reported as not properly powering on the Access Points attached to it. This issue is still pending. 

Thanks

First thing I would check is the TRUNK uplink.  If you have "modified" the native VLAN as many do, be sure it's also set that change accordingly under Switching > Switch Settings as pictured above where is shows VLAN configuration (Management VLAN) at the top of the page.

[mcoomber]

My Native VLAN is  still set to the default.

[RWelch]

What is the switch connected to?  Can you show screenshots of your uplink settings that might help us see how it's configured.  Your initial post doesn't have a lot of info/details for us to go off of without seeing how it's configured.

[mcoomber]

The switch is connected to a 3850 Catalyst switch that has been configured to run MSTP. 

[RWelch]

Does turning OFF trusted DAI fix the issue or have you tested that idea/suggestion?

[RWelch]

And I would turn OFF PoE on the UPLINK as well.

[mcoomber]

Turning off Trusted DAI blocks certain devices especially the Cisco deskphones from connecting and getting IP address

[RWelch]

Is your static IP setup have the VLAN field set or is it empty?

[mcoomber]

The static IP setup has The VLAN ID set to the data VLAN. 
I've got only two VLANS (Data and Voice)Configured Static SettingsPresent DHCP Setting

[RWelch]

The static VLAN should reflect the NATIVE VLAN (1) to talk to the cloud - not for your data/voice VLANs.

[mcoomber]

I changed the static VLAN to Native VLAN 1 and after rebooting the static IP Address Appeared. 

So thinking that this is the solution, I went ahead to change the static VLAN on the other switch that also had VLAN 10 to reflect this change. However, after changing to the NATIVE VLAN and rebooting the switch, I now have this switch being issued with  DHCP IP address and the static IP that was present is not any more. 

[RWelch]

What subnets are you using?
Example
VLAN 1 is 10.10.10.0/24
VLAN 5 is 172.16.5.0/24
VLAN10 is 172.16.10.0/24

When you set the static IP address of the MS130 switch it should also fall within the VLAN1 subnet.

The screenshot you have above shows DHCP using VLAN 1 however it looks like you are manually setting it to VLAN10 on the Data VLAN.

Do you have two or three subnets?  Is your 3850 Catalyst using Native VLAN1 subnet for a static IP address as well or using VLAN10 data subnet?  

[mcoomber]

VLAN 5 (Voice) - 192.168.20.0/24 (DHCP from a Cisco 3945 ISR)

VLAN 10 (Data) - 172.16.0.0/23 (DHCP from Windows Server 2016)

3850 Catalyst using Native VLAN 1

Originally I had configured the static VLAN to 10 but you have advised to change to Native VLAN 1. Changing to Native VLAN 1 solved my initial issue but then changing it to Native VLAN 1 on the other switch transfers the problem.

[RWelch]

What is the VLAN1 subnet?  Have you defined or added a VLAN1 subnet?

The reason VLAN1 fails on the MS130 is likely because it's not defined just showing what the default is as native VLAN 1.  It needs to be listed for it to work and be used.  I don't see what IP/subnet range VLAN 1 is.

[mcoomber]

VLAN 1 is not defined within the network. It is just listed as the Native VLAN for the uplink between the switches.

VLAN 30 is mainly not in use

VLANs configured on the MX

Hey, I had lots of these types of issues when deploying large Meraki networks across the UK & Kenya. First check the port your device is connected to & make sure uplink port config matches the IP subnet you are trying to set as static. 

Check your DHCP server hasn't reserved IP addresses on different scopes for your device. Some of my switches were reserving 5+ IP addresses across different vlans & I could see reservations on different scopes against the MAC of my switch in the DHCP server. 

To fix this I created a DHCP reservation against the mac address of the device I am setting a static on, checked the static information is correct in the dashboard, checked the uplink config is correct, deleted the incorrect DHCP scope reservations then forced a reset of the switch via the reset button.

May not be the same issue you are facing but helped for me, goodluck 🙂 

[mcoomber]

Hey,

My DHCP Server has a reserved range of 172.16.1.1 - 30 and from within it the static IP Address is used for the switches and Access Points. DHCP is disabled on the switches.

[RWelch]

Native VLAN for your switch is VLAN1
Data VLAN should be something other than VLAN1

Voice VLAN should be something other than VLAN1 and the Data VLAN.

Setting your static IP VLAN field should be 1 (separate subnet).

[mcoomber]

Native VLAN is default 1. Data VLAN is 10 and Voice is 5

[RWelch]

Does the static IP address you are attempting to assign to the MS130 switch fall into the VLAN1 subnet or VLAN10 data subnet?

[mcoomber]

Within the VLAN 10 subnet

[RWelch]

You will need to define (create/add) VLAN1 within your network for the MS130 to use the non-existent NATIVE 1 VLAN as you've told the switch to use.  The 3850 fails as well because it remains undefined (non-existent).  VLAN1 doesn't seem to exist anywhere in the network.

Or you could make VLAN10 the native VLAN (untagged) - could be the easier solution.  Both the 3850 and MS130 ports that connect to one another need to be identical. 

VLAN 1 (non-existent) - ???.???.??.0/?? (it doesn't exist)

VLAN 5 (Voice) - 192.168.20.0/24 (DHCP from a Cisco 3945 ISR)

VLAN 10 (Data) - 172.16.0.0/23 (DHCP from Windows Server 2016)

[mcoomber]

I think I will go with the option of using VLAN 10 as the native VLAN (untagged) since that's what's already configured the other switches that are working and showing that the IPs are statically assigned. 

Only VLAN 5 & 10 are configured within the 3850 Catalyst switch.

[RWelch]

 If you have "modified" the native VLAN as many do, be sure it's also set that change accordingly under Switching > Switch Settings as pictured above where is shows VLAN configuration (Management VLAN) at the top of the page.

[mcoomber]

Hi RWelch,

I've been replying to this post but something is not working properly as it is not appearing within the feed. 

I have changed a few configurations. 

• I have transferred DHCP services from the 3945 ISR (VLAN 5 - Voice) and the Windows Server (VLAN 10 - Data) to the MX84 Security Appliance.
• I have connected the troubleshoot MS130-48P switch directly to the MX 84. However still having the problem of it using DHCP rather that the statically assigned address.  

Based on the config below of the 3850, can I simply connect all the MS130-48P switches to the MX84 and then cut out the 3850 switch?

Uplink port on the MS130-48PConfigured Static SettingsConfigured VLAN for DHCP on the MX

[mcoomber]

Hi RWelch,

So I've done some configuration changes.

• I have transferred all DHCP services for both the Voice and Data VLANs from the 3945 switch and the Windows Server 2016 to the MX84 Security Appliance. 
• Native VLAN 1 is only used as the Trunk Port for the Uplink between the MS130-48P switches and the 3850 Catalyst Switch. 

DHCP Configured on MX84

I think this issue of the MS130-49P using DHCP instead the reason why I am having the problems of the APs going down when connected to that switch.

Below is the config for the 3850 switch.

Hi @mcoomber -

Community moderator here. I have just restored the several posts that you made that were picked up by our spam detector (not sure why, sometimes it’s just over-active 😞 ). Apologies for the inconvenience!

LMK if any of the posts should be removed or edited.

Cheers!

[mcoomber]

Thanks for letting me know what happened. Here I was thinking I might have been doing wrong.
