DHCP and Vlans

[Guest]

any suggestionson how to specify which scopes users pull IP from?

I want to setup several different VLANS and need to specify different scopes
for each Vlan. I would like to have 10.10.10.1, 10.10.9.1, 10.10.8.1, etc. I
can use the UDP helper to forward the requests but do not know how to control
the assignement from the different scopes. Any ideas? If anyone knows about
this and could email me I would appreciate it.

You don't have to "control" them. You simply create a scope for each subnet
and place the DHCP in the subnet of your choice. The LAN Router is to be
configured to forward DHCP Queries to either the subnet the DHCP is on or
directly to the DHCP itself. The Router includes information in the
"forwarded" packet to identify to the DHCP which logical "segment" the query
originated from. The DHCP uses the proper scope based on that.

As long as the VLANs are designed properly it will be fine. There is
functionally no difference between using VLANs or regular physical
segmentation with respect to DHCP.
