DHCP Relay over VPN
Hi Guys, I have a problem with setting up DHCP relay mode over my VPN. The VPN works ok and I can access the remote router, printers, etc via their internal IP address (192.168.0.xxx) no problem. My...
- Just be aware that its not really a good idea to run DHCP over a VPN as if for whatever reason the VPN goes down, the computers at the remote site won't be able to get an IP address & the whole network there could go into meltdown... Personally I use DHCP on the site with the server and remote sites I use static. I could probably use a local DHCP server at each site, but for the number of PCs involved, using statics was easier.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies.
I need to extend our domain over both routers to allow new client computers to be connected to the domain from both ends . We run SBS2011 as the main domain controller in th UK and wish to install a secondary server in France as the ADSL service there while being stable is not fast.
Both servers run active directory, with the UK being the primary.
DFS is also required on 2 large data drives as well.
DHCP relay will simplify the setup.
