DHCP Relay question.

Interfaces

eth1 WAN
eth2 - eth5 - bridge1

We have a network with valid public addresses (/24)
eth1/WAN is at 15.1.36.19/24

15.1.36.19/24 DHCP is at 15.1.36.250, on a datacenter accessible thought eth1/WAN, I can ping it behind the bridge1 interface.

bridge1 is at 192.168.88.1

Physical servers connected to bridge1 will have fixed ip addresses at 192.168.88.0/24 network. There are only 4.

VM’s on those Physical servers need to get ip addresses at 15.1.36.0/24


I did:

Configure DHCP Relay listening on interface bridge1 pointing to a dhcp server at 15.1.36.250 with local address 15.1.36.19. Also tried 192.168.88.2.

Configured the bridge1 interface to have the extra address 15.1.36.1/24, since the dhcp server will be serving ip’s on this network. Also tried without it.



It does not work, am I trying to do something beyond of what’s possible?


I want the physical servers (kvm) to not be accessible from 15.1.36.19/24. VM’s are configured to use macvtap, so they can directly access nic hardware.
