DHCP Relaying

[Guest]

We are implementing a VLAN strategy at our company. We have configured a
Cisco router and the appropriate switches to do this. We are using the
addressing scheme of 192.168.4.x, 192.168.5.x, etc all of which are a
standard C Subnet. With a static IP, we can connect to everything on every
other VLAN subnet, so we know that is working properly.

We have a DHCP server sitting at 192.168.1.10, the helper address on the
router has been configured to this server on each of the router interfaces
for the apporpriate subnet.

On the DHCP server itself, I have created a superscope containing a specific
scope for each subnet.

Our problem is that nothing can get an IP address.....any ideas????

Have you tried manually setting one pc on each subnet and seeing if it can
talk to the DHCP server?

yes....when it has a static IP it can ping the DHCP server (and every other
server in the network)

we have been able to successfully connect on all subnets, for whatever
reason when we are attempting to use DHCP it will not get an IP address. as I
stated before the helper address has been configured for each interface on
the router and the dhcp server has everything configured in a superscope

are the routers configured to relay broadcast packets?
