What are these DHCP rules supposed to do?
 
What is not working when they're not working?

        So I created a new SBS box last weekend and have not installed
ISA Sp2 yet. Checked the DHCP rules and they are same as after ISA SP2.
So it appears that these are the default SBS DHCP rules. I still don't
understand why they are working. Guess I have a mental block on it.
Anyone care to educate me?

         

        Here's what we have:

         

        System Policy

                    DHCP (Request) From Localhost to Anywhere for All
Users

                    DHCP (Reply) From Internal to LocalHost for All
Users

         

        Firewall Policy

                    DHCP (Reply) From External to LocalHost for All
Users

         

         

        Amy Babinchak

        We need to clarify *which* DHCP rules you're talking about...

        1.      Default System DHCP policies allow

        a.       DHCP Request from Local Host to Internal (UDP:68 -->
UDP:67)

        b.      DHCP Reply from Internal to local host (UDP:67 -->
UDP:68)

        2.      SBS DHCP policies allow

        a.       DHCP Request from Internal to Local Host (UDP:68 -->
UDP:67)

        b.      DHCP Reply from Local Host to Internal (UDP:67 -->
UDP:68)

         

        If a DHCP relay is in the path between the DHCP client and
server, the traffic between the server and the relay will actually
appear as UDP:67 --> UDP:67 regardless of direction.  Note that ISA
doesn't make any distinction between this and DHCP Request traffic,
since both are destined for UDP:67.  Is there a DHCP helper in either of
these environments?

         

        Based on the log excerpt you provided, it appears that it's the
array rules that are failing.

        Is that correct?

        In SBS DHCP rules are automagically created in the system
policy.

        He doth speaketh truly, doth he.

        SBS always had to create an array-level rule allowing DHCP
requests & replies for the internal network.

        I 'd be very surprised to see SP2 installation removing those,
since the SBS team had to have tested SP2 as well.

        Hi Amy,

         

        I'm not sure what the sceanrio is is. Is there a DHCP server on
the ISA Firewall? If so, there never were any System Policy Rules that
allow for this, you've always had to create your own rules.

                Here's the promised update for the DHCP stops working
issue after ISA SP2 install. More are starting to show up on the SBS
yahoo group. The server that I've seen belongs to Eriq Neale. I know Tom
Shinder knows him, he's a pretty competent guy from there in Texas.

255.255.255.255   67    DHCP (request)    Denied Connection  0.0.0.0
Internal    Local Host  0xc004000d FWX_E_POLICY_RULES_DENIED      0x0

                 

                 

                I also ran an ISA info. Checked the server against mine
and the system policy rules for DHCP are identical. Checked the NIC
configurations those look good too. Checked that .255 is part of the
internal network. Checked binding order and where DHCP is bound.
Everything checks out.

                 

                If you recreate the DHCP system policy rules as firewall
rules, DHCP works. Saw it with my own eyes. DHCP was working prior to
ISA SP2 installation. 

                 

                I'm stumped. Anyone?

                 

                p.s. I wish you guys would monitor the ISA MVP list as
well.
