Title: DHCP For remote subnets (relay receiver)?
Post by: tomstephens89 on November 09, 2019, 09:43:27 PM
Hi all,

Is OPNSense capable of serving DHCP leases to remote subnets? I.E if there is a L3 routed core with an uplink to Opensense, Can I configure my DHCP helpers to point at the OPNSense DHCP Server?

This would be reliant on creating DHCP pools for subnets that are not directly attached.

I have answered my own question. The DHCP server in OpnSense can only create pools for subnets to which it is directly connected. Therefore no I can't create additional pools to serve remote subnets that forward DHCP requests via the cisco helper.
