VPN dhcp relay was created by ashleyrobinson
Hi all,

I have just setup a draytek 2830vn on a branch office site. I have setup a VPN tunnel to a watch guard 510 at our head office. tunnel is up and working fine I can ping everything at both sites.

I want clients on the branch office to get DHCP from a domain controller at head office

I set the dhcp relay in the LAN settings of the draytek to the internal ip of our DC, but for some reason I don't see the dhcp traffic passing over the tunnel.

Can this router forward dhcp packets over the VPN?

Cheers,

Ash

It doesn't appear so. It's frustrating, as I push out a DNS search suffix from dhcpd, yet the draytek has no way of doing this.

UPDATE: It turns out there is! 'sys domainname ' - works!
