dhcp server error

Patrick_Bateman — Fri, 29 Dec 2017 19:36:33 GMT

This is probably really simple but I'm fairly new to the world of check point.

When I attempt to enable DHCP Server I receive an error of, "At least one subnet should be configured and enabled in order for the DHCP server to be enabled. DHCP server, Interface selection error."

I attached two screen shots of the DHCP Server Subnet Configuration window.

I'm probably overlooking something obvious, but I'm hopeful that someone could help! Thank you in advance.

Considering I just followed the same basic steps and it worked (albeit with a different subnet), I'm inclined to think you're running into a bug of some sort.

Granted, I did it on R80.10 + JHF 56

What release are you doing it on?

Check sk113600 if the end-user vlan is not directly connected to the CheckPoint FW and you are using DHCP relay agent (L3 switch/router).

end-user-vlan ->> L3 switch/router (DHCP relay agent) ->> CeckPoint FW (DHCP server)

I have the descriped setup with R80.10:

end-user-vlan ->> L3 switch/router (DHCP relay agent) ->> CheckPoint FW (DHCP server)

Scopelocal is enabled on the route. But still I cannot activate the DHCP server.

Anyone any idea?

Is the 10.22.96.0/22 network configured on one of the interfaces?

No there is a route to 10.22.96.0/22 via the L3 switch. The L3 switch is configured with dhcp relay to the checkpoint.

Hmmm, not quite sure if that is supported by Check Point, I think only locally connected networks are supported.

I think it is supported. I found nothing official but sk113600 is a hint.

Hi,
Were you ever able to get this working? Any inputs would be helpful.

Seeing exact same error when trying to enable DHCP server.
I've got similar setup, trying to migrate away from Windows DHCP to reduce On-Prem presence.

end user vlan---> L3 switch (Relay agent) ---> Check Point FW (DHCP Server)

Subnet is enabled, just when I enable DHCP server I see the attached error.

Running Check Point version R81.20

Thanks

I'm not sure this specific gateway is not in use any more.
Have you checked https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk113600
I just now see that sk113600 is not mentioning R81.20!
You can ask in the SK directly if this also is supported on R81.20 by pushing the NO button (was this helpful? -> no) at the end of the page.

Thank you, I've submitted feedback on SK113600

Here’s an example of how to do it:

Let’s assume 192.168.77.0 is the physical interface. I will enable the DHCP server on this interface with no address pools, so it will listen on port 67.

Then, I can add a network, such as 1.2.3.0/24, which is not bound to any interface, configure a pool for it, and enable the DHCP server on that network.

Just make sure to have a route (either static or dynamic) to the 1.2.3.0/24 network, as the server will respond to this network with a DHCP replay packet .
