This is very basis DHCP stuff.
You need three things for this to work :
1) On the "remote" network you need a relay agent
- this picks up the local broadcasts, fills in a
field to identify the network to the DHCP server,
and forwards it. It sounds like you already have
this in your switch.
2) You configure each subnet in the server, like this :
subnet 172.18.0.0 ...
...
}
subnet 10.10.10.0 ...
...
}
That's all there is to it - it doesn't matter
which subnets are locally attached and which are
remote, the server will work that out.
3) You need appropriate router(s) and link(s)
that will allow unicast traffic between the
clients on the remote networks and the server -
this is needed to allow the clients to renew
leases which is done by unicast rather than
broadcast.
With these in place you'll find that it all happens automagically.
In a bit more detail, the key is that in the DHCP
discovery and request packets there is a field
called GI Addr (Gateway Interface Address). In
requests from clients on a local network this
will be blank and the server detects the correct
subnet according to the interface the packet was
received on. For remote networks, the relay agent
fills in it's local IP address on the remote
network and the server uses that both to
determine the right subnet, and to return the
packet to the gateway so it can broadcast it to
the client.
It is well worth getting hold of the book "The
DHCP Handboook" by Ralph Droms and Ted Lemon.
It's very well written and explains all the
details clearly - including some historical stuff
that explains why it's done the way it is.
