I think that rule is known as the sb rule!

Jim's already explained it...

The SBS rule that handles DHCP traffic between the SBS server and the Internal network is the "SBS Protected Networks Access Rule", which allows (I may just puke)
- Protocols = All
- Source = All Protected Networks
- Destination = All Protected Networks
- Users = All Users

The SBS server is the also DHCP server. Some are reporting the DHCP
server is no longer responding to requests. This caused me to look at
the DHCP rules. The rules don't make sense to me. How is the server
serving DHCP addresses to clients with these rules?

Sure, but I'm wondering what people think "stops working" after SP2 in
regards to DHCP.

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

      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.
