Acl for dhcp packet forwarding.

[Justsomebodi]

Does anyone have some pointers to creating a script that will forward DHCP packets to a EAC appliance in a layer 2 Network?

Hello,

Even though the NAC is in another building is there anyway to extend the VLAN to a separate NIC on the NAC? The NAC's additional NIC can act as a passive Network sniffer to sniff the broadcast request packets.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for the replies. The vlan is not routable so bootp doesn't work. The NAC is actually in a different building and different set of VLAN's.

Hello,

You could run a link to eth2 and extend the VLAN to eth2 of the NAC and put the interface in listening mode.

If NAC is in the name VLAN as the clients it should already be able to get see the DHCP request.

Thanks
