You can configure scopes to serve multiple subnets and networks if you allow DHCP traffic to forward to the server. This is accomplished by assigning the 003 Router option in the scope options. Each scope with a specified 003 option will only lease addresses that come from that route/network's

Matthew, No, your DHCP server will dish out the correct IP address by scope. The router has a DHCP helper address which will forward it to the DHCP server. The DHCP server will see what subnet the request came from, and give out a lease for an IP address of the scope assigned to that subnet. For

I don't quite understand the part about statically assigned IPs for individual machines. Does that mean for certain machines only, and the rest get dhcp addresses? There's no need to create separate dhcp servers for each subnet. Create one dhcp server with scopes for each of the subnets.

Do you mean that you are creating reservations in DHCP (you say statically assign)? If that is the case, then what you will have to do is create a reservation in EACH subnet that a given user would hit. Since they are in different subnets, though, it would mean different addresses (or else

Using the DHCP helper (relay) feature will work. You can set up the multiple DHCP scopes on one or two (for redundancy) servers and the clients will pull the correct DHCP scopes when they hook up. Most modern desktop/laptop clients can handle the switch gracefully as they move from subnet to

A DHCP Relay is what you want. If a user on Subnet A plugs in to Subnet B, they will end up with a DHCPNACK for their old IP followed by the correct IP. Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com c - 312.731.3132 Active Directory, 4th Ed - http://www.briandesmond.com/ad4/ Microsoft MVP -
