[pfSense Support] DHCP scope,
Hi, Is it possible to have the pfSence fw provide DHCP services to a network which lives one hop beyond the pfsence's INSIDE directly connected network? On the router i configured an ip-helper address, i then went to configure the pfsecne's DHCP service but it is complaining about the network not matching that of the network which the INSIDE interface is within.is there a way around that? (is it ok to edit files manually without breaking things).. OUTSIDE==[pfS-FW]==[router]==[network requiring DHCP] i've already brought up a DHCP server elsewhere, but thought i'd ask about this anyway. having scopes which don't match an interface connected to the DHCP server(pfsence) doesn't seem like an uncommon thing, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't missing a config option somewhere, and ask... thanks! greg
RE: [pfSense Support] DHCP scope,
Hi Greg, On your router you should configure a DHCP helper address (IP of your pfSense box) for DHCP relaying.

Not uncommon to have deployments like that, but first I've heard of anyone with a network like that wanting to run DHCP on the firewall, generally those networks have a DHCP server in place elsewhere. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
Re: [pfSense Support] DHCP scope,
Thanks Jochem, but as mentioned in the post, I did that. its the multi scope thing i was wondering about. greg On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 6:04 PM, Jochem de Waal wrote: > ** > > Hi Greg, > > ** ** > > On your router you should configure a DHCP helper address (IP of your > pfSense box) for DHCP relaying. > > ** ** > > Cheers, > > ** ** > > Jochem > > ** ** > -- > > *Van:* greg whynott [mailto:greg.whyn...@gmail.com] > *Verzonden:* maandag 29 augustus 2011 22:05 > *Aan:* **support@pfsense.com** > *Onderwerp:* [pfSense Support] DHCP scope, > > ** ** > > Hi, > > Is it possible to have the pfSence fw provide DHCP services to a network > which lives one hop beyond the pfsence's INSIDE directly connected network? > On the router i configured an ip-helper address, i then went to configure > the pfsecne's DHCP service but it is complaining about the network not > matching that of the network which the INSIDE interface is within.is > there a way around that?

Re: [pfSense Support] DHCP scope,
Thanks Chris. this is for an internal 'sandbox' environment for employees with another firewall before the internet. I've set up many DHCP servers on unix with multiple scopes, guess i figured it could be done here since its a unix router. anyway, so i have my answer, thanks much! greg On Mon, Aug 29, 2011 at 6:28 PM, Chris Buechler > > Not possible.
