Teksavvy cable modems

[Ansar Mohammed]

Hello All,
I have Teksavvy cable and I have a few questions.

Right now the cable modem is connected directly to a dedicated
ethernet port on my firewall. My firewall connects to the internal
network with a second dedicated ethernet port.

Yesterday I setup a dedicated VLAN and plugged both the cable modem
and my firewall into it. For some rather odd reason, the external
interface of the firewall does not get an IP Address from DHCP. The
requests are sent out but no responses come back. I also see tons of
arp requests from the cable modem.

Any ideas why I am not getting an IP Address?
