Topology:
Configure DHCP on Cisco router 2811 to assign a static IP to the italkBB: Cisco SPA 1202.
start DHCP service by command:
service dhcpdebug on Cisco router to check DHCP request by the commands:
debug ip dhcp server packet terminal monitorDebug info :
DHCPD: DHCPREQUEST received from client 0100.1c23.3541.98configure DHCP
ip dhcp pool ItalkBB host 10.0.0.127 255.255.255.0 //no mask configured, IP’s class mask assigned client-identifier 0100.1c23.3541 default-router 10.10.10.99But italkBB can’t get IP from Cisco router 2811, and the error msg in debug info is:
DHCPD: client’s VPN is . DHCPD: No option 125Checked DHCPREQUEST on Cisco Router in debugging mode:
DHCPD: DHCPREQUEST received from client 0100.1c23.3541.98change client-identifier by command:
client-identifier 0100.1c23.3541.98
ItalkBB works.
Note: from my understanding, the MAC of the iTalkBB should be ‘0100.1c23.3541’, in fact, the suffix: ‘.98’ is required as a part of the identifier.

A case from blog : Embedded System Testing Blog
“No option 125” error from Cisco DHCP server Problem : “No option 125” error was continuously repeating and DHCP Server on Cisco was not offering any IP address to the clients.
Jul 24 05:36:21.147: DHCPD: No option 125 Jul 24 05:36:21.147: DHCPD: DHCPDISCOVER received from client 001e.e5dc.ae.c0 on interface GigabitEthernet0/1. Jul 24 05:36:30.707: DHCPD: client’s VPN is . Jul 24 05:36:30.707: DHCPD: No option 125
> Solution: After some debugging, came to know that the problem is with the subnet configured on the Gigabit ethernet. For DHCP Server to offer the IP address at least one interface should be in the same network as the pool is defined. Once the subnet is properly configured, the Server started replying.
