[TriLUG] dhcp relay question

[STaylor at srspos.com]

If the box has multiple nicks in it, each plugged into a separate hub thus 
creating your Vlans you just need to create the different DHCP  scopes 
because the request will always hit a nic in the server. If you don't then 
you need to make sure your switch will forward the request on to the DHCP 
server.

In most cases this is called IP Helper (at least that's what cisco/foundry 
call it)

Then you of course need to make sure your other scopes are set up.

        Subject:        [TriLUG] dhcp relay question


Newbie routing/dhcp question!!

Running DHCP on a Mandrake box to privide dhcp services to our network. 
 I am not able to provide DHCP to subnets beyond the network that the 
server lives on.  It is my understanding that routers do not broadcast 
DHCP request.  I am using a Mandrake box also to do static routing.  If 
I install and configure dhcp relay on the routers should this allow 
other subnets to obtain a dhcp ack? 

Thanks in advance,
--cgb
