No replies from DHCP requests

Posted by stemora on August 17, 2017

Hello there, I'm compiling FreeRTOS 9.0.0.0 + TCP 160919 for LPC1778. On the run of the board I send the DHSP request: sniffing with wireshark I see 3 DHCP requests and a number of ARP requests (?). No reply from the DHCP sever.

Checking on the DHCP server we don't see any request (?): possibile that the request is blocked by a switch ? If yes,why? My guess is that the package is not malformed .. is it ?

Thanks

Hi, I attached a simple DHCP conversation for comparison.

possible that the request is blocked by a switch

Switches will recognise DHCP packets and they will let them through.

Have you defined ipconfigUSE_DHCP_HOOK in your project? If so, what does your implementation of xApplicationDHCPHook() look like?

What you can try is install a temporary DHCP-server on your laptop:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dhcp-dns-server/files/Dual%20DHCP%20DNS%20Server/

and see if your devices will get an answer from this DHCP server. When that works, you are one step further.

Can you ping your DHCP server from your laptop? Or, more complicated to test, if you give a fixed IP-address to your device, can it ping to the DHCP server?
