Default single DHCP server with multiple VLAN's

Hi everyone,

Hope you can help me with this one, im trying to setup one dhcp server to release IP in different vlan's.

I've been successfully setup my box using multiple IP's. I can ping VLAN2 clients with the IP block 192.168.10.1/24, VLAN3=192.168.20.1/24, VLAN4=192.168.30.1/24 and so on...

VLan is for that purpose only, you cannot connect to diffrent subnet. VLAN allows having several VLANs over a single switch in such a manner that all the LANs will operate in parallel and may not be even aware of each other


There are several types of VLANs and I don't know which one you got so you may or may not able to communicate.

I guess you need to setup DHCP relay; It extends the reach of the DHCP server without the need for multiple DHCP servers on each subnet by acting as the DHCP server’s helper agent in a remote subnet.

Just look at Cisco 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Fixed) Software Configuration Guide - Configuring a LAN with DHCP and VLANs [Cisco 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers] - Cisco Systems for more examples
