MS510TXPP + WAX625 - Multiple SSIDs & VLANs, only 1 DHCP working
Hi, I am trying to setup a SOHO network with the HW in the title, Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switches (MS510TXPP) and Cloud Managed WiFi 6 (WAX620PA)
I have setup 4 VLANS
2 iot
3 guest
4 usr
5 mgmt
and 3 SSIDs
1 wlan_usr
2 wlan_iot
3 wlan_guest
they should refer to 3 different DHCP scopes on Win SRV 2019. First one uses WPA2 Enterprise AES with NPS/CA, second one is a simple WPA2, third one should use Facebook Wifi.
I can reach everything and ping everything.
I have setup Class B scopes but I am unable to obtain IP addresses from my DHCP server.
I wanted to add DHCP Relay/IP Help Address, but for as much as I am looking it doesn't appear in the Services menu.
I found DHCP Snooping and I can see the requests going through in the correct VLANs, but I am afraid that without helper address they don't reach.
Am I missing something? I have no problems going through CLI, but it seems not available on these.
Help?
Ofc AP is on a trunk port with U mgmt and T 2,3,4 while server is on U mgmt (everything is pinging correctly).
I also checked the bindings, and the DHCP server is correctly bound to its IP.

No, you are not missing anything. It is the MS510TXPP that is missing a DHCP server or relay. It is hard to believe but unfortunately NETGEAR makes routing switches like that. The only way to have DHCP working for multiple VLANs on this switch is to have a DHCP server in each VLAN. I ended up buying another routing switch with a DHCP server support and using my MS510TXPP as a L2 switch.

For contest - this is what I see on the switch and on the AP.

I am dumbfounded by this.
This is an EXPENSIVE piece of kit. Ok it has multigig interfaces and 10g uplinks on a PoE+, but still - what is the point of making it so full of features and then missing on this one.
Incredible... Thank you for the info, I marked it as a solution - hope it will help others.
