Server Edition DHCP relay 1

[sunshine999]

When using the IP office as the DHCP server, can the IP Office provide IP address' to other subnets via dhcp relay?

thanks

Yes it can.
Just declare other DHCP scopes in the pools menu (System\LAN1)

PS: be careful with 9.1SP8 which have an issue with DHCP. It will be corrected in SP9 but if needed, a CP can be obtained through support.

What is the 9.1.8 issue with DHCP, I have not seen this yet.

Just curious - if the site is big enough for multiple VLANs do they not have a windows server? DHCP is one area that windows servers really shine - especially if you ever need to troubleshoot.

Also, we have gotten away from using DHCP options for IP phones. LLDP is super easy to configure and works great for advertising the call server to the phones.

@critchey, DHCP server does not work at all on 9.1.8

@dibthree, how do you use LLDP to advertise call server and fileserver ? I use LLDP to advertise voice vlan but I still need a DHCP server in voice vlan

What is the make and model of the network switch into which you are patching the phones?
