Except for the firewall policy DHCP rule, those are the defaults in their 
original state (might be worth money some day - don't let the kids play with 
them).

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.

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.
