Hi Hernan,

Could you please post the Cisco Switch's relevant configuration, also?
Including the VLAN interfaces serving the 10.0.0.0/16 network.

By the way, does this switch have conectivity with your dhcp server? This
is mandatory for the DHCP relay to work, as the relay agent needs to
forward DHCP messages for clients in unicast to the DHCP server; and the
reverse path must be available also, once you're checking the direct path,
give some time checking this also.
