Routing on Bridge Pair vs. DHCP Relay

A client has a number of firewalls and 2 AD servers, one on prem and one in Azure. They wish to control IP address assignments in Windows instead of on each firewall.  This makes sense as using Central to manage a number of firewalls is slow and somewhat cumbersome as one can only manage one firewall at a time.

We setup DHCP scopes on the Windows Server, setup DHCP replication. Setup DHCP Relay to both servers.  This is working well for the most part.  One site has an issue and I had to configure DHCP back on the FW. In combing through the firewalls, this one has a Bridged LAN interface AND Enable routing on this bridge pair. Most other sites do not have Bridged interfaces, but the ones that do, have the routing option de-selected.

Does anyone know the impact to DHCP when Routing is enabled?  I've reviewed a few articles, but nothing definitive could be found.

  • Turns out this was a Windows DHCP server issue. For 1 out of 13 scopes we were relaying, it wouldn't assign a gateway IP. I had to delete and recreate the scope.
