cascade connections DHCP

Post by jeffatrad » Thu Dec 11, 2014 5:43 am

I have two subnets and one machine on subnet B makes a cascade connection to the subnet A.

Now, when I VPN into subnet A with the VPN client, I'm getting a DHCP address from subnet B. Do I have to isolate them somehow?

Any thoughts on this? Why is DHCP traffic even going over the cascade connection at all? I would have thought that the only data traveling across the connection would be traffic destined for the other network?

This is expected behavior and the primary purpose of cascading virtual hubs.

Try this:

1. Choose the virtual hub.
2. Click the "Manage Virtual Hub" button.
3. Click the "Manage Cascade Connections" button.
4. Choose the cascade connection.
5. Click the "Edit" button.
6. Click the "Security Policy" button.
7. Toggle the "Filter DHCP Packets (IPv4)" option.
