VPN site to site and L2 traffic

[alian-sam]

I have a main and remote site , main site has Windows Active Directory 2003 , DHCP , DNS, Exchange Servers and the two sites connected to the internet directly.

The remote site has no servers , just internet connectivity , Does the VPN tunnel pass DHCP broadcast , AD/Exhange , DNS communication so i can DHCP client on the remote site and DHCP server on the Main site.

thanks

Sam

No, broadcasts are not routed. How big is the remote site?

What pieces of equipment terminate your tunnel???

Cisco Pix firewalls (OS 6.3+) and Cisco routers support DHCP relay.

For example, if you have a Pix at the remote site, try the following commands:

dhcprelay server A.B.C.D outside

dhcprelay enable inside
