DHCP Troubleshooting
DHCP To The Internet
With DHCP configured for your WAN interface your MultiCom Firewall sends
out discovery packets looking for a DHCP server to give it an IP configuration. If
a DHCP server is not found then the WAN interface is not enabled (i.e. you
cannot reach the Internet.)
Some common connection problems are...
•
DHCP is not being used by your Internet Service Provider
•
your cabling is incorrect
•
your modem is not configured as a bridge
•
you changed the time on the MultiCom Firewall but did not reboot
•
your WAN and LAN interfaces are using the same IP address range
Table 12: WAN DHCP client status states
DHCP is not being used by your Internet
State of the interface
Possible problem
Disabled
DHCP is not enabled for this interface.
Expired
The existing IP configuration has expired without it
being renewed. Check that firewall was rebooted
after changing the time.
Trying to get address
The firewall is in the process of trying to get an IP
configuration from the Internet Service Provider.
Failed
The attempt to contact a DHCP server failed, check
all troubleshooting steps.
Assigned
The DHCP interface is functioning correctly.
Rebind
Normal DHCP activity, check back soon to see if
the state is Assigned or Failed.
Renew
Normal DHCP activity, check back soon to see if
the state is Assigned or Failed.
