Switches : Cisco Switches (Smart)
DHCP server: Physical.

I thought you can configure Default Gateway on the DHCP server to point to the interface IP address of the Router. On the Router interface to which the Access switch is connected to , you configure the Ip Helper address command to point to the IP address of the DHCP server.
That way when clients request IP address the Router will redirect them to DHCP server ,
However I do not know the details , how it works. For instance a Client which is connected to a switch port in Vlan 25 (192.168.25.0/24), when it requests IP address, how does DHCP server knows that it should hand out IP address from the Scope (192.168.25.0)
