New user to OpenWRT. I'm running dhcp server on a 2008 R2 machine and I can't for the life of me find any option to forward dhcp. I would like to run VLANs on a smart switch but I can't locate the ip helper-address equivalent. And I see there is a dhcp relay package (among others) but I can't seem to find a way of configuring them.

Dnsmasq doesn't have the option to be a dhcp-relay, however you can install the package dhcp-forwarder.

And the information from http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=d … ;hb=master

But you can't configure it trough the web gui, but only from console. But it is pretty easy todo.

Thank you. I think I got it but I won't know until I get another subnet running.

The discussion might have continued from here.
