dhcp to vlan

[carl_townshend]

Hi all, is it possible to set up dhcp on a firewall/router, someone has set up a dhcp on a firewall here that only gives out ip's to vlan 200, is that possible ?

[amit-singh]

Yes, Carl it is possible. You can set the DHCP feature on firewalls,routers, L-3 switches as far as they support it.

so can this be done on a per vlan basis ?

Hi

Yes it can be done on per vlan basis and do remember you need to have ip helper-address x.x.x.x configured under the vlan to make this work.

x.x.x.x is your dhcp server address where you can defined the scope,range,dns etc., based on the vlans.

Hi

its very much possible to setup dhcp services in a router but do revert whether you are using any VPN concentrator box out ther to assign ips to your local lan or else revert on what kinda firewall box has been installed over there to do the same.
