I E lab 13 - dhcp-server vs ip helper

Hi guys,

R4's bri interface is configured to have it's ip address negotiated.

R5 is configured as a dhcp relay & is suppose to get an ip address

for R4 from a dhcp server configured on R1.

R4 --isdn --- R5 ----- R1 (dhcp server).

This works as it's suppose to when R5 has the global command,

ip dhcp-server 139.1.15.1, configured.

But, if the interface command, ip helper 139.1.15.1, is configured on

R5, then R4 doesn't get an ip address.

Can anyone explain why that is?

I thought, the ip dhcp-server command does the same thing as the ip helper
command except

that it's more specific.

TIA, Tim
