Hi all
Is it possible to have SSL VPN clients obtain their IP address from an external DHCP server, my setup is such that a VPN client joins LAN1 which is configured to use my Windows DHCP server, however when a client connects they're allocated an IP by the DHCP server on the 2862. As a workaround I've tweaked the address pools to avoid them overlapping but ideally I'd like them to be allocated by my external DHCP server.
Any help gratefully received, thanks
In the LAN setting there is a 'Enable Relay Agent' under the DHCP section, then set the DHCP to you Windows DHCP IP.
I have to say though, if you have DHCP enable on the sam subnet as a Windows DHCP then generally the Windows DHCP will shutdown.
Also I have had issues with VPN's getting IP's from Windows Servers, it looks like it times out before getting the IP. There is another thread on this and Draytek are looking in to it.
It's in the VPN Section:

Thanks John, I'd previously tried the relay agent setting and it didn't help in this instance.
Interesting that you should mention the conflict between the Draytek DHCP server and a Windows server because this is where I find the Draytek config confusing, I have the Draytek DHCP server turned off in the LAN1 settings which I thought would force the VPN client to obtain a lease from one of my two Windows servers however there's a setting in the menu
VPN and Remote Access >> PPP General Setup >> IP Address Assignment for Dial-In Users (When DHCP Disable set) which seems to create a static pool of IP addresses to be allocated. I wish there was an option to disable this pool and force a client to obtain an IP from an external server!
