DHCP Routes?

[americanmcneil]

Scenerio:

I am using a windows 2003 standard edition server. Those before me set up the DHCP server and it seems to be fine. I am also running a Colubris msc-3200 controller (it redirects to portal pages). I am trying to not use the controllers bult in dhcp as I want my server to do that. When I set the controller to dhcp relay and set the address for my server everything seems fine untill i try to log in from one of my waps running through the controller. It times out and says that the dhcp server could not be found. So looking into the controller i found that it says that a route must be defined in the dhcp server so that the server can send dhcp packets back to the dhcp relay agent on the controller.

My question:

How do i set a route in my dhcp server for this to work?

Im not familiar with the technology you are using. On Cisco routers, you usually set up an IP Helper address (relay) to allow DHCP broadcast to traverse the router and get to the DHCP server.
If your HW vendor is asking you to define a route on the DHCP server, it is easy to do. Why you would have to define a route on the DHCP server, doesn't make sense to me...

To Define a route on a computer's routing table, use the 'route' command from the command prompt on you DHCP server.
route ADD 157.0.0.0 MASK 255.0.0.0 157.0.0.1 METRIC -P

Type route -? for info...
