wireless clients not getting dhcp

Clients connect to a Guest SSID which is set to VLAN13. We have another SSID connected to VLAN1. Clients trying to connect to the guest SSID do not get a DHCP address. We have the router serving DHCP addresses. We have VLAN1 set to local and VLAN13 set to tunnel. What are we missing? We tried bridging the two via local and tunnel, but we get the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Here's the wireless config I have setup now. We are using (4) 7532 access points. I have (1) AP set as a virtual controller.

Basic troubleshooting...

Does DHCP service even work > configure a port untagged VLAN#13 and connect a wired device > could you get a IP via DHCP

Connect again via wireless > check the switch MAC table > did the switch learn the client MAC on the correct port and on the correct VLAN.

The result of this two steps should give you a good idea what is going wrong.

Hello Lorielee,

what are you working with in terms of equipment, i. e.: Controller, virtual controller, AP, models, firmware version, etc...?

In general:

1 - Both VLANs should be created and segregated on corporate router. DHCP should also be configured for same.
2 - Both WLANs should be local
3 - Map one wlan to vlan 1 and the other to vlan 13
4 - Create vlan 13 on controller/AP (vlan 1 should be there by default)
5 - All connected ports should be switched to trunk ports and allow vlans 1 and 13
6 - Make sure that both vlans are also allowed on the switchport the equipment is connected to

Thank you,

Chris

Hello Lorilee,
Is the referenced router our wireless controller or external/3rd party router with DHCP server? If using the wireless controller, you must ensure that the DHCP policy is mapped to the wireless controller. It might be best if you got a support case generated in order that we can review the configuration and topology to better assist you. You can either call 800-872-8440 or use the online method: https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/Create-a-Case-via-New-Portal

The wireless controller and/or APs must be under 90-day warranty period or under entitlement/contract for phone support.
