Cisco – VLAN & WiFi & DHCP with Cisco SG200

ciscodhcpvlanwifi

I'm trying to configure a small business network with one Cisco SG200-26, a Linux server and two TP-Link TL-WA801ND.

I have set up the APs to have two different SSIDs, Public and Staff, and have configured VLAN tagging with tags 5 & 6 respectively.

On the switch, I have created the VLANs and configured the server port and the AP ports to trunk.

I've configured the server to have the two VLAN networks with IP addresses, eth0.5 & eth0.6. The DHCP server is configured to give addresses on the correct subnets.

So:

eth0 has 192.168.0.0/24
eth0.5 has 192.168.5.0/24
eth0.6 has 192.168.6.0/24

Now, the APs receive management IP addresses via DHCP in 192.168.0.0/24

I see connected devices requesting IP addresses (from server log):

Apr 12 13:08:33 server dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 60:d8:19:xx:xx:xx (pc1) via eth0.5
Apr 12 13:08:33 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.5.10 to 60:d8:19:xx:xx:xx (pc1) via eth0.5

But I don't see them accepting the address. Suggestions welcome, I'm stumped!

Check if there are settings for DHCP snooping on the switch and access points. It is possible that switch will suppress DHCP traffic unless you specify particular ports as DHCP trusted.
