DHCP on subnets

I have a network that uses DHCP for IP assingment and to reduce traffic, I want to divide it into two subnets
How can I configure the DHCP server to correct assing IP on the correct subnet.

e.g.: computer 1 must receive an IP of the subnet
computer 2 must receive an IP of the subnet

Thanks

Divide your network with a router and configure your router to do bootp
relay (or DHCP relay). Create scopes for each subnet on the DHCP server.
Physically connec the clients to the proper subnet.

OK, but how DHCP server will know what computer belongs to what subnet , to correctely assing IP adderss ?
 
Properly configured to use DHCP relay or bootp relay, your router will
insert its IP address into a GIADDR field in the DHCP packets and send them
to the DHCP server. The DHCP will see the router's IP address and will use
it to determine the appropriate address to assign.

Clients are different subnets make a request to the DHCP server through the DHCP Relay
agent on thier subnet. So the DHCP server knows what scope to use to assign an IP from for
the client.

The below link provides you all the info you need.

Hi Ricardo,

Here is a link to all the info you need to ocnfigure your DHCP to provide IPs to multiple
subnets:
