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

Yes, that will help as long as the lease isn't trying to get renewed right
when the line is down.

You can counter a bit the dhcp trouble by having long lease of 8 or even
24 hours, so you have time to repair.

Keep in mind that centralizing DHCP is potentially a bad idea and will be
disaster if the fiber goes down. The client will not get thier address
and will default to the 169 auto addressing and the LAN at the site would
collapse.

The best solution is a Windows Server at each location that is a DC/DNS
and a DHCP. You use the AD Site Object to maintain the AD replication
over the slow link. This way the system will still function if the fiber
goes down.

Sweet! Thanks for the direction Anthony. I checked out the IP Helper set
up in the routers and it looks like it should be a clean and fairly easy
way to go. I wondered what exactly the IP Helper function was for. Have
a great day.

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.
