Hi!

We are planning to deploy several VLAN's in the building, but all hosts
should be able to use the same DHCP server. I understand that I can
implement "ip helper", but how then DHCP server knows to which VLAN host
belongs, so that is able to issue the right TCP/IP configuration to that
host (subnet and default gateway particularly)? Any solution except manually
binding TCP/IP settings to hosts MAC addresses in DHCP server configuration?

It knows because source sub-interface address is sent in DHCP request
packet proxyed by 'ip helper ...' command. So if you have a range on
DHCP server that matches the address on subinterface, address from that
range will be taken.

When you say subinterface, you mean subinterface IP address of interVLAN
router? If, so, what if I have ML switch instead of router? Then we 're
talking about SVI IP address? This works on Windows DHCP also?

Yes, I mean subinterface address on interVLAN router. If you have MLS,
then it's address of SVI. Yes, it works with windows DHCP.

consulting on networking & systems in Croatia, and we can do all this
