Title: DHCP Multiple scopes (relay receiver)
Post by: tomstephens89 on July 17, 2019, 01:58:16 pm

Hi all,

Testing out OPNSENSE for a new network deployment here and I have a question.

The network consists of several VLAN's routed by a L3 switch core. One upstream VLAN into OPNSENSE for routing out to the net/vpn's.

Can the DHCP server on OPNSENSE be configured to serve out addresses to inbound DHCP relay messages from the L3 switches. I.E. Can I set up multiple scopes for the subnets in question that arent directly connected to OPNSense?

Thanks

Since no-one else seems to know I can probably answer this myself.... OPNSense can't be used in such scenarios as it requires presence in each VLAN directly in order to create DHCP pools.

Nudge, keeping this visible as I think it would be a great feature!

Yes indeed, this would be a cool feature.
