RE: [pfSense Support] pfSense DHCP-relay
Wouldn't you want to bridge the two interfaces together? Just thinking out loud here. You could also set the interface DHCP on WLAN to hand a certain range of address in the same subnet as your LAN, and then set rules accordingly. Lastly... would it not work to open up the DHCP server in the Rules to the LAN and then let the request flow to it? I'm not sure broadcasts will flow through interfaces... but theoretically I guess it could work. Sorry I don't have any definite answers... someone else on here might. -Tim PS... is there a reason in particular you want that specific server to serve up your DHCP requests?

RE: [pfSense Support] pfSense DHCP-relay
As you may know, the DHCP relay is intended specifically to relay dhcp client requests coming from pfSense's LAN side to a separate, pre-existing DHCP server on its WAN side. Is that how you wish to use it?

It's not only intended to forward requests to the WAN, in fact I'm not even aware of anybody that uses it in that fashion (that checkbox was a port from m0n0wall). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [pfSense Support] pfSense DHCP-relay
Apologies for my incorrect statements about DHCP-relay. Though I don't right now, I have used it that way (relay DHCP client request from pfSense LAN side clients to a DHCP server on the WAN side) successfully in the past. -Original Message- From: Chris Buechler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 11:16 AM To: support@pfsense.com Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] pfSense DHCP-relay Hi, all DHCP-relay gurus ;-) I need to relay DHCP-requests from my WLAN Interface ath0 to my LAN internal DHCP-server.

I'm not sure at all if you're incorrect, I just didn't know of anybody using it like that. I guess it obviously works, or used to work before DHCP relay was broken at least. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
