To forward DHCP requests from your Windows Server to a pfSense DHCP server, you can set up DHCP relay on your Windows Server. Here's how you can achieve this: 1. On Windows Server: - Go to Server Manager. - Select Tools and open DHCP. - In the DHCP console, right-click on your DHCP server. - Select Properties. - Go to the Relay Agents tab. - Click Add, and enter the IP address of your pfSense DHCP server. 2. On pfSense: - Ensure that the DHCP service is correctly configured on the pfSense server with the appropriate scopes and settings. - Verify that the pfSense DHCP server can provide IP addresses to the network segment where Windows Server and other clients reside. 3. Testing: - On a client machine or Windows Server, release and renew the IP address to trigger a DHCP request. - Observe whether the DHCP request is relayed and successfully handled by the pfSense DHCP server. By setting up the DHCP relay on your Windows Server pointing to your pfSense DHCP server, you effectively forward DHCP requests from the local network segment to the designated DHCP server for providing the IP addresses. If you encounter any issues during the configuration or need further guidance, feel free to ask for additional help or provide more details for a more specific solution.
