D-Link DSL-G225 DHCP Relay settings greyed?

You need to switch the DHCP Server on the D-Link off as a start.

You would also need to configure it with a Static IP or as a DHCP Client to the other network.

With a Billion router I could set up the Billion to relay DHCP settings from another DHCP server without encountering any problems. Obviously, as the ettings are included in the D-link, albeit grayed, which is the problem, the D-link should also do it.

All the reserved settings in the non-D-link were honoured and everything worked.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, it's not a Billion.

That is indeed true. It isn't, but unfortunately that doesn't explain why the settings are grayed. Or maybe it does

Ask their teck support why it's grayed out, 08600 35465, maybe they can shed some light.

Just did, and they are equally puzzled :)

They will revert once they / if they get a solution.

Is the Router receiving it's own IP via DHCP from the upstream DHCP Server? Is DHCP Server disabled?

Which port is the network cable plugged into?


****

There is half a chance this is maybe disabled by Telkom, but I doubt it. Can check tonight when I have access to mine as the stupid thing wouldn't let me port forward SSH come hell or high water.
 
Local network is manually set.

DHCP is running.

I use relaying as an option so as to ensure consistency.

Meantime I have two DHCP servers each servicing a different scope so as not to clash, but with the same gateway, dns settings.

Wtf. That was one of the first things asked.
Your DHCP on the router needs to be off.

DHCP on a network segment is like the Highlander, there can only be 1. So relay and server on the router cannot be run at the same time.

On the SBS, it should be on. On the router, it should be off. But relay should be on
