DHCP Server and rleay agent

Hi,

I know we can to have a MS DHCP server serving multiples subnets, and
these subnets are in different LAN segments with a router (DHCP Relay
Agent/RFC 1542 compliant) in the middle.

I used TURBO DHCP Server and I had to set up the Relay Agent IP
(router) address. Is that necesary in MS DHCP Server?

Thanks.
Jaime

Not on the DHCP Server itself. You don't have to do anything with it other
than have separate, distince, independent scopes for each segment (no
superscopes).

Then on the routing device that does the routing and relay:
1. Some require you enter the target IP# of the DHCP server to relay to. The
relay is passed as directed packets.
2. Some require you to enter the target subnet that the DHCP sits in. The
relay is passed as broadcast packets.
3. Some allow you to choose either method of #1 or #2.

If it is a complex LAN with multiple routers you would have to se it up on
every router because the clients DHCP Query can never go futher than the
closet router

If this is a Cisco router (or foundry for that matter) segmenting WAN
segments, you can use the IP Helper-address command on the network or VLAN to
direct DHCP requests to the DHCP server. This works well as the server jsut
responds to the appropriate requests without a need for additional
configuration.
