Cisco Allocate IP Addresses Over Static Route

Hello Experts,

Can someone please provide a link describing how to allocate ip addresses over a static route?

So, I have a static route with a switch and I want to allow users from the switch to be allocated an ip addresses from a certain range over a static route.

Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Cheers

Carlton

a diagram of what you are trying to achieve would be useful

DHCP works by handing out IPs from it's range on any interface that has an IP in the correct subnet. Otherwise you need to use a DHCP helper.

You can configure it like this:

config t
interface fas0/0 (or whichever interface connects to the clients)
ip helper-address 172.16.1.0 (specify the network address of the subnet you want to forward DHCP requests for on this interface)

Matt,

Is there a way the same thing could be achieved with configuring a static route to the client and then allowing ip addresses from a range to pass over the static route?

If that makes sense.

Cheers
