Atif,
I agree with Don's statement. When running DHCP, if the DHCP server is on
a different net/segment, the router will not allow the workstations to pass
through because a DHCP request is a broudcast. With "IP HELPER-ADDRESS
x.x.x.x" you can let the router know to forward these request to the
specified address (DHCP server). Another thing you might want to concider is
the "IP FORWARD-PROTOCOL" command. You can use this command with the
ip-helper to limit the protocols that get through. With DHCP there are 8 by
default that get forwarded: TFTP, DNS, Time, TACACS, BOOTP client, BOOTP
Server, NetBIOS name service, and NetBIOS datagram service. With ip forward,
you specify which ones you want to go through, just like an access list.
Well, hope this helped. Have a good weekend. 8)
