Re: Multi DHCP Scopes across Fiber M.A.N.

Sam,
Set up the scopes on the central DC.
Set an ip helper address on each router to forward the DHCP requests to the
DC. The central DHCP server will respond to requests with an address in the
scope where the request came from.

Windows 2003 D.C. Server Fully patched.
4 Cisco 1841 routers holding fiberoptic metro area network connections

Main Office: 192.168.100.0/24 DHCP managed by DC
Office 2 192.168.101.0/24 DHCP managed by Cisco router
Office 3 192.168.102.0/24 DHCP managed by Cisco router
Office 4 192.168.103.0/24 DHCP managed by Cisco router

All four locations connected together via fiber optic metro area network
on a private VLAN.


I have a domain controller issuing DHCP at my main location. At each of
the other 3 locations, the Cisco 1841 router at that location is acting as
DHCP server for that local subnet. I would prefer to centralize DHCP on
the domain controller, and still be able to keep my subnet addressing
scheme as is. I know that my routers can function as DHCP relays, but this
is only one of the options I have studied. Im not clear on how to
structure this so that each machines in each office receive an address
that is correct for their location. Some articles have inferred that RRAS
would be necessary as well. If someone can give a basic illustration of
how this would work and which network management applications have to be
in the loop, i can go from there. TIA for any advice or informative
articles.
