Yes, the router should act as a fully functional DHCP server. You just need to setup the pools for the remote networks and ip helper the requests to it.

There are some advanced options available if you want to get fancy. =) This explains it better than I: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ipaddr/configuration/guide/iad_dhcp_svr_cfg.html#wp1122709 I hope this is what you were looking for. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Whitten Sent: Monday, May 19, 2008 8:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [c-nsp] cisco ios dhcp server No, I'm familiar with those commands, thats what I would use on a remote Cisco router to forward the DHCP requests up to a central DHCP server.
