VLANs and Windows DHCP Server
Current Setup
Draytek Vigor router with port 4 connected to port 1
Draytek has two VLANs setup, the default which is untagged is 10.0.0.0/24 and VLAN 20 tagged 172.16.31.0/24
Windows DHCP server IP 10.0.0.251 is working fine for devices on the 10.0.0.0/24 network, I would like for it to hand out addresses on the 172.16.31.0/24 network but when they are plugged in they do not receive an IP address.
Inter-VLAN routing enabled on the Draytek and DHCP relay for VLAN 20 configured to point to 10.0.0.251
VLAN tagging and untagging is as follows:
Port 1: Untagged on VLAN 1, tagged on VLAN 20, PVID is 1
Port 27: untagged on VLAN 20, PVID is 20,
Is there something extra I need to do to get this working?
Thank you for your assistance, I found the DHCP server was using another router on the same subnet as the gateway for legacy reasons. It needed a static route to the new Subnet/VLAN, once I added this all was working fine, I confirmed I could ping from the Router interface on the new Subnet to the DHCP server fine and DHCP relay was working fine

To my knowledge, the Netgear Smart switches are just L2 or some L2+ capable, there is no DHCP HELPER available.
Said that, the DHCP server must have a leg in this IP subnet and VLAN.
