Re: DHCP relay, superscope and laptops

OK, so to simplify...

I have two subnets A and B, one on each VLAN, connected through a L3 switch
which acts as a DHCP relay to my single DHCP server on subnet A.

A DHCP request from clients on subnet A are no problem as they are local on
the DHCP's server subnet.

A DHCP request from clients on subnet B, pass through the L3 Switch, which
relays them to my DHCP server on subnet A.

How do I then set up those two subents on the DHCP server? Do I just have to
seperate scopes and everyone is happy ever after ?

In the article I read then I needed to declare a superscope for subnet B for
the DHCP server to be able to handle it correctly. Is that not the case ?
