Hi.
I’m putting up a network, this network got mainly a switch topology.
To make the senario smaller I got a Win2003 AD, DNS and DHCP in one server connected to a Layer 2 switch, this switch in turn is connected to a Cisco 3560 switch at Layer 3.
Many companies doesn’t have more than one DHCP server. However they do surely have more than one vlan who will need ip addresses.
So I want to put computers in different vlans and have DHCP assign ip addresses to them originating from the DHCP server.
Of course I could just as well make dhcp pools and servers on the L3 switch or a routher. However the point were to use a single server. I have tried a lot of configurations and searched a lot the last days for help, yet I don’t see “this is how you do”. The Dhcp server is working just fine having everything on the same vlan works and adresses are assigned. But it do not work when I add more scopes for other vlans. I tried with connecting the dhcp server to the L3 switch and assigning it to an ip address but it didn’t work either.
If there’s a way to share a Dhcp server over vlans or to configure the DHCP server against the L3 switch then do please let me know Asap.
Doing my Project and this part took to much time already. If I could have maby some kind of configuration mailed to me in a real senario it might help a lot as well.

If anyone got the knowledge or something I’m doing isn’t possible then do please let me know. Any help is welcome.
