DHCP 2 ranges

[Guest rjzcap1]

I am going to have 2 differewnt internet connections at work for a bit. 1 is

t1 and the other 50 MB fiber. Both have there own routers/switches. The T1

uses the 208 range the fiber willbne different. Most devices use dhcp. For

those I woudl liek for them to be able to get the new address to use the

fiber connection 1st and then I will reprogram the manual ones. IS there

anyway to do this? Shoudl I just plug both routers into my server switch. OR

should I pluf the fiber ethernet into my dhcl dc1 nic 2?

1) Plug both routers into network switches

 

2) Make the fibre router the DHCP scope option gateway

 

3) Use reservations (with options) to nominate individual DHCP clients to

use the T1 router as gateway. These reserved IP addresses must be within the

scope, but can be outside the pool available for allocation. So you can

duplicate the reservations on a backup DHCP server.
