Dear all,

Hello,

I hope everyone is nice & fine. I need to support off-subnet scopes through
Windows 2000 DHCP server.

Desired scope to support to DHCP clients :-

192.168.0.1 --- 192.168.0.250 with
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
IP Address exclusion range :- 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10

Server has one NIC with its PRIMARY IP as :-

IP =10.0.0.1
Subnet = 255.0.0.0
and another as SECONDARY IP from the range of IPs to be assigned i.e. :-

SECONDARY IP :-

IP= 192.168.0.1
Subnet = 255.255.255.0

DHCP is configured properly with all the scope settings. Also the adapter
bindings are checked to be bound with the NIC having above mentioned PRIMARY
& SECONDARY IP addresses. But DHCP clients does not seem to discover the
DHCP at eh SECONDARY IP assigned to the same NIC of the server.

I've checked Server resource kit, it does talk about off-subnet address
allocation but wholly in conjunction with RRAS. Can someone please help or
point out to some resources. Please accept my thanks in advance! :)

Sincerely,
Shahzad Rasool.
 
Dear Christoffer,

Hello,

Well thank you for such a quick reply But bro. by 'binding' i meant here
that by clicking the "Bindings" button of "Advanced" tab of DHCP server
properties, the dhcp service is bound to the NIC containing both PRIMARY &
SECONDARY IP addressses, but unless the PRIMARY IP address of the NIC is not
from the excluded range of scope to be supported, it doesn't lease out IP
addresses from that scope.

Assigning PRIMARY & SECONDARY IPs like that way is a requirment. Otherwise I
would have reversed the order.

Please thanks for your effort. Looking forward to hear again any further on
this.

Regards.
