DHCP server be VLAN aware (2820) was created by mikeytt
I would love to see the ability to turn off the DHCP server for certain VLANs.

I have a home LAN that I need a DHCP server for, but I also have a couple of virtual environments that I use for product testing, which have their own DHCP server. Currently I have RRAS running with twin virtual NICs in the server.

I would like to be able to pick and choose which VLAN the Draytek DHCP server is active on. My virtual machine server isn't always on, so I can't just create another VM shell with DHCP on.

Ideally if it were able to issue different DHCP scopes per VLAN that would be the cherry, on the proverbial cake.

It's a small gripe really on what's an excellent router.

thats a must in my eyes along with egress/ingress filtering eg vlan1 > internet only (dhcp) , vlan2 > ipsec tunnel 1 & internet (no dhcp), vlan 3 > ipsec tunnel 2 only (no dhcp)

2820 = 3.3.2_RC5
2950 = 3.2.4

Totally agree here as VLAN setup within the 2820 is the only area which is very basic and I don't seem to have much control at all and I would have like to have more setup capabilities here, as in SME market VLAN's are handy for controlling security. ( I appreciate VLAN's take some time to setup and get your head around but are very handy).

I would also liked to have seen time control on VLAN's so that VLAN is only active between period, so I can shut down access via this route.

Also while VLAN per a port seem straight forward, better would be give the advance options or even telnet access like on Cisco kit to setup these more advanced routing capabilities.

Thanks

I also agree.

It would be good if they could also identify which SSID/Vlan a DHCP address is assigned to in the "DHCP table"
