DHCP Question

[Guest Glenn]

If this isn't the appropriate newsgroup, please let me know which one is.

 

I have a Windows 2003 Server that I use as a DHCP (amongst its other

roles).

 

The computers in all departments get their IP addresses from it.

 

I'm looking to change that a bit. I want each department to have its own

pool of IP addresses available.

 

I can setup my switches so that each is on its own VLAN. I'm just not sure

how to setup the DHCP server so that the scopes are tied to a particular

VLAN when the server itself only has one connection to the switch.

 

Hopefully I'm clear here with what I want to do..if not please ask.

 

Thanks.

Glenn,

Its not as difficult as it appears.

On the DHCP server, you just set up the scopes for each subnet as if the

DHCP server were on that subnet.

On the VLAN you need an "ip helper" address. This tells computers on the

subnet where the DHCP server is. The DHCP server responds with an address

from the requesting VLAN.

RE: DHCP Question

 

Hey Glen!

 

I was searching to setup something similar to what you had asked. Would you

care to help me with that? I have 100 computers in my Network , single

domain. I was thinking about seperating our Reseach and Development

department to make it more secure and maybe improve performance. R&D will

have their on Windows 2003 R2 server connected directly to CISCO CORE switch

3750Gx24 which is Layer 3 capable.All my servers are connected to this

server. This switch is also Uplink to other switches.

I have never done Vlan nor I am experiense with switches but I want to learn

how to configure Vlan on the switch and server. I like to find out what do I

gain doing Vlan for this server.

 

Does it improve security for the server , less broadcast, virus security

threats spreading , bandwidth, port security. I want to make this server is

invisible on the network but CAD workstations pulling data from this server

should be able to access this server and the rest of the LAN.

How will I configure the Workstations? Do I have to move R&D workstations to

their on SWITCH and UPLINK that Switch to the rest of the NETWORK SWITCH so

they can get on the to the LAN. I have a Network Digram I can share....

 

Please let me know If you can help me???
