3300 Internal DHCP Multiple Subnets

[f1fanatic]

Hi All,

Is the above possible, as i asked the question of tech support a few years ago and the answer was no. But i have just seen this programmed on a system i have taken over the maintenance of.

The scenario when i asked the question originally was, customer had a core cabinet (cabinet a) and a few edge cabinets, b thru d. In each cab they would have a VLAN and subnet for pc's, one for printers and now one for voip.

So in the 3300, i would have 4 different subnets, all needing 4 different default gateways.

I think after digging around the 3300, MCD4, i have answered my own question and that the answer is yes.

But i would like to here from anyone with experience of doing this, as i have always done DHCP on a windows server if i require multiple subnets.

Thanks

Your right, this is possible. Quite simple. Program your 4 subnets and ranges, put in your dhcp options for each subnet (only thing changing is your gateway)

as MitelMmaniac said, it is possible... and very simple to implement.

However, don't forget you need an external router with the Helper option pointing to your 3300 box.

If you need any more details, please let us know.

The limit last I heard was 10 subnets.

Options can be set to either Global or specific to each subnet

Has this always been possible? Like i said when i have come accross this scenario previously i have used MS DHCP, as was informed that it was'nt possible to do on 3300 internal dhcp server!

Thanks

Multiple subnets have been available since at least Release 3 (circa 2002) when I first started working with 3300. My assumption is that they have always been available.

Mmmm duff information then! I asked this question of tech support uk about 2005 and was told no not clever enough, it needs to be done on MS or similar DHCP!

Thanks all
