Running DHCP over WAN T1

[Doug]

I've read the past posts on this topic, and it sounds easy. Just
running a sanity check here....

Network A = 192.168.1.x, server & clients
Network B = 192.168.2.x, clients only
Connected via a point-to-point T1, B will only have about 6 clients.

I know the remote router (Cisco 1721) will need to be configured to
forward DHCP requests to the DHCP server. Obviously the DHCP server
(2003 SBS) will have two scopes. I'd rather not run DCHP on the
router.

So my question is, the DCHP server will just know to give requests
coming from the 192.168.2.x subnet an address from the 192.168.2.x
scope?

Thanks in advance!

If your router is configured correctly, DHCP server will know which scope
to assign addresses from. When you set up your router to do dhcp relay or
bootp relay, it will fill in the GIADDR field on the DHCP packets. This
field will indicate the correct scope for the DHCP server to use to assign
an address from.

Thanks Marc,

Question 2.... How does the DHCP server know to assign local clients
192.168.1.x and not 192.168.2.x addresses?

The GIADDR field will be blank in the DHCPDiscover packets so the DHCP
server will assign an address from the local scope.

Thanks again Marc, I figured it was something like that....
