Program Dell PowerConnect 6248P to handle another DHCP subnet from DHCP server
A client we just took on has a stack of 4 Dell switches the DHCP server is running out of DHCP leases the scope is 10.0.0.0/24 i created a superscope on the DHCP server adding 10.0.8.0/21, the DHCP server will hand out leases in my new scope but the devices with a lease on that range will not have internet connection. They can communicate between the two subnets though. Im thinking i have to create a VLAN on the dell switch in order to allow it to service these DHCP requests? the switch is on 10.0.0.254 and is the gateway for the orginial subnet, i know i need to create a virtual gateway on the 10.0.8.0 subnet. I can paste configs but this whole system was long configured before we took this client on.

Hi,
This might be some routing issue, mind if you can share your switch configuration, show tech on the switch? Yes, you have to create a vLAN, here's an example configuration:
interface vlan 10
ip address 192.168.10.254 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 192.168.1.254 dhcp
ip dhcp pool First_dhcp1
console(config-dhcp-pool)#network 192.168.10.0 /24
console(config-dhcp-pool)#domain-name https://dell.to/4e1hnto
console(config-dhcp-pool)#dns-server 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
console(config-dhcp-pool)#lease 0 2
console(config-dhcp-pool)#default-router 192.168.10.254
