Question : Microsoft DHCP Question: How did the DHCP Server know from what scope he should give ? Technical Backround

Hello all,

i dont know how to ask this question correctly, but i try.
Think about the following situation, which will be in some enviroments:

I have on DHCP Server in net 172.16.0.0 /16 (VLAN 10)

i have a switch with different vlans for all the company parts on it, for example
Buying (VLAN11) 172.17.10.x/24
Service (VLAN12) 172.17.20.x/24
Sales (VLAN13) 172.17.17.30.x/24

Ok, i generated the scopes.
How did the DHCPServer know, from which subnet the client is requesting? Means, how did the DHCP Server know, from which scope he serves an ip?

regards

bytes
