VLAN & DHCP server

[Tim Peiffer]

This is a frequently asked question that could have been researched 
before asking.   The first URI I would recommend is a search engine:  
http://www.google.com/search?q=isc+dhcp+server+vlan Lots of stuff comes up.

Configure your network adapter to support vlan operations.  Here too a 
search engine is useful
http://www.google.com/search?q=linux++vlan+interface+configuration

A useful article from the linux journals describe how to configure vlans 
on Debian using the vconfig.
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7268

Then you follow the normal server configurations from the dhcp server 
manuals.  The interfaces created by linux vlan config utility vconfig 
create regular interfaces.  There is nothing different about them from 
the perspective of the DHCP server.

    subnet 1.2.3.0 netmask 255.255.255.192 {
        option routers 1.2.3.62;
        option broadcast-address 1.2.3.63;
        [.... and so on.
    }
