    We had to configure a client with a Windows DHCP server. The setup was the same. But we could not get DHCP to work. If we set a static ip on a pc on the vlan. The traffic would flow just fine. The trick to get it to work. Was to set the switch as the gateway on the network card of the dhcp server. After doing that, DHCP started working.
