DHCPD Questions

[Jmeierz28]

Hi all, I am starting to migrate this ISP over to RH8..

Currently, we need to provide dynamic IPs to our wireless users and DSL users.
The DSL and Wireless IP ranges are different (IE DSL = 63.162.42.1-127 and Wireless = 65.171.102.1-127)

I configured DHCPD with both subnets, but I need to know if DHCPD can differentiate a request from our Cisco router and from our Wireless Routers.

Thanks,

I think so. Since, your DSL users and wireless users are coming in from two differences interfaces on your router. Plus, they are two separates network on your router. I would assumed your RH8 box have at least 2 NICs right. I think all you have to do is turn your dhcpd on to both interfaces(networks). Like "dhcpd eth0 eth1" I hope this help.

I kinda figured that I would have to run 2 NICs.. I just didnt make sense any other way.

Thanks.
