DHCP Server Issues

This should be a no brainer but I'm having issues with a Fortigate 220B running 5.2.9.   I have the "switch" interface set to DHCP on the same subnet as the "switch" interfaces IP address and yet it's not giving out addresses.  What am I missing??  I've set up a ton of these but for can't seem to make this one work.  I have the switch and laptop in an isolated environment, directly connected to each other so there is no external interference.  If I manually set the IP address on the workstation, it works normally.  Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Interface Config:

config system interface edit "switch" set vdom "root" set ip 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess ping https ssh set type physical set snmp-index 11 next end

 

DHCP Config:

config system dhcp server edit 1 set dns-service default set ntp-service default set default-gateway 192.168.1.1 set netmask 255.255.255.0 set interface "switch" config ip-range edit 1 set start-ip 192.168.1.10 set end-ip 192.168.1.254 next end set timezone-option default next end

    The laptop is directly connected to the FortiGate or does it have a switch between it and the Gate?

    Directly connected.

    Silly question: Does the laptop with the same cable work successfully elsewhere? Also do other devices fail as well?
