DHCP Client Requests

[Guest]

Because of other requirements we are required to have BootP forwarding on our routers. What I would like to be able to do is limit a DHCP client request to a DHCP server on a particular subnet and not go out across the network to other subnets that have other DHCP servers on it. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Based on the scenario explained, you can configure DHCP Relay Agents. The
DHCP Relay Agent component is a Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) relay agent that
relays Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) messages between DHCP
clients and DHCP servers on different IP networks. The DHCP Relay Agent is
compliant with RFC 1542, "Clarifications and Extensions for the Bootstrap
Protocol." For each IP network segment that contains DHCP clients, either a
DHCP server or a computer acting as a DHCP Relay Agent is required. For
further information on DHCP Relay Agent, you can visit the link given below:
