asked on

dhcp server configuration in multiple VLANS environment.

hi...

I have a server farm VLAN and my other department each in separate VLAN. I want to configure DHCP server which is Serve Farm. All the depts can access the server farm. My only concern is how to create scope for each VLAN and specify the Scope to the required VLAN.

Thanks...

I only see a way to do this if you have all mac addresses of your pc's and the vlan where they are located.
I do not see a direct way to have a link between your dhcp and your switches as they are not on the same Level in the OSI model.

also if you configure 2 scopes that are on the same vlan (and subnet) as the interfaces on each vlan then the DHCP server will know which scope to assign IP's from based on which switchport the request came from.

Yes, you will also need an ip helper address in the form ip helper <IP of your DHCP server>

hope this helps
