Reserve DHCP range for RAS

  • Thread starter Thread starter Ian Ho

You can reserve a range of IP in the DHCP. In the RRAS snap-in you need to
specify this range as a static pool of IPs to be used by the RAS server. It
is not possible for the DHCP to allocate a specific range of IP when the RAS
server requests.
 
If I specify a range of IP which is the same subnet of my LAN,
RRAS client will not be able to access the network though
connected. Search for KB shows that I must use different subnet
IP if I specify static range in RRAS. Is it possible to specify
the same subnet in RRAS and the clients still able to access
my network?

Yes, you should be able to reach other sub nets when you configure RRAS to
give out IP addresses from the same sub net via static pool. To reach the
other networks you have to add a route on you RAS server so that it can
reach that network.

Client- - - - - RAS---------A---------B

You have to add a route on RAS server to reach B. On doing that, your
client would also reach on establishing a RAS connection to the server.
