DHCP service offering DHCP packets on other interface...

I have a network setup with the main LAN on interface eth2 with a DHCP server on the network, and a separate wireless LAN on eth3 with the UTM offering DHCP for that interface. The only thing attached to that IF is a Wireless AP (Not sophos). For some reason, the UTM is offering DHCP addresses on the eth2 IF conflicting with the main LAN DHCP server. This causes issues since the traffic in the WLAN subnet is not allowed to talk to the LAN subnet in the firewall rules, which is working, but people that should be on LAN are not getting LAN IPs all the time.

Any ideas? Thanks.

    Eth3 is the wifi interface

    P:\Utils>dhcploc -p 150.147.159.204
    13:44:22    OFFER (IP)150.147.159.63  (S)150.147.159.204 ***
    13:44:22    OFFER (IP)192.168.10.20   (S)192.168.10.1    ***

    run from a server on the eth2 interface

    192.168.10.1 is the eth3 gateway address on the UTM. 150.147.159.204 is the DHCP server on the eth2 subnet.

  • You definitely have an Ethernet segmentation problem.  Maybe someone has plugged a wireless home router into your network?

  • Bob: Turns out you were right... I found a trunk connection behind the switch I am using for the public wifi network that was connected to one of the other Lan switches. After unplugging it, the problem went away. What a relief...

    Thanks.
